Article Abstract

Background: The high mortality rate and long treatment time for burns require the development of new effective therapies.

Objective: The study aims to systematically review current research on 3D printing technologies for developing advanced burn dressings, identifying existing challenges and exploring the potential for clinical integration.

Materials And Methods: This systematic review examines 45 studies from 2018 to 2023 on 3D printing technologies for burn dressings to identify challenges and clinical perspectives.

Results: The review highlights significant advancements in using 3D printing to create customized dressings tailored to patients' anatomy. Technologies such as stereolithography, extrusion printing, and bioprinting ensure precise and functional bandages. Biocompatible materials, including synthetic polymers and natural hydrogels, promote tissue regeneration and lower infection risks. Bioprinting's integration of living cells further enhances regenerative medicine possibilities. Clinical data indicate that 3D-printed dressings improve wound healing, reduce pain and inflammation, and yield better functional and aesthetic outcomes.

Conclusion: The study confirms the significant potential of 3D printing technologies in the development of effective and personalized dressings for the treatment of burns.

Reconstructing bone defects remains a significant challenge in clinical practice, driving the urgent need for advanced artificial grafts that simultaneously promote vascularization and osteogenesis. Addressing the critical trade-off between achieving high porosity/strength and effective bioactivity at safe ion doses, we incorporated strontium (Sr) into β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) scaffolds with a triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) structure using digital light processing (DLP)-based three-dimensional (3D) printing. Systematically screening Sr concentrations (0-10 mol%), we identified 10 mol% as optimal, leveraging the synergy between the biomimetic TPMS architecture, providing exceptional mechanical strength (up to 1.

Background Of The Study: known for its bioactive phytochemicals and antimicrobial potential; however, studies evaluating its outcome on the color, mechanical properties and antimicrobial activity of 3D-printed provisional dental resins are lacking. So this study evaluate the effect of seed extract incorporation on the color assessment, flexural strength, compressive strength, microhardness and antimicrobial activity of 3D-printed provisional crown and bridge resin.

Materials And Methods: A total of 240 samples were prepared, with 60 samples allocated to four groups based on 0 %, 1.

This study quantitatively evaluated the adsorption performance of natural bentonite for removing three dye classes-cationic (Basic dye: BEZACRYL RED GRL), anionic (Reactive dye: AVITERA LIGHT RED SE), and non-ionic (Disperse dye: BEMACRON BLUE HP3R) from synthetic textile wastewater. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted under varying conditions of contact time (15-90 min), adsorbent dosage (20-60 g L⁻), pH (4 and 12), and temperature (25-100 °C), with dye concentrations quantified by UV-Vis spectroscopy. At a contact time of 30 min and room temperature (25 °C), maximum removal efficiencies reached 99.

Introduction: anatomical deformities such as developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and Perthes disease represent a challenge for reconstruction. The use of 3D-printed models can be helpful for assessing the deformity, bone mass, implant size, and orientation.

Objectives: to prospectively evaluate the outcomes of 3D simulation in primary total hip arthroplasty.

Extensive peripheral nerve injuries often lead to the loss of neurological function due to slow regeneration and limited recovery over large gaps. Current clinical interventions, such as nerve guidance conduits (NGCs), face challenges in creating biomimetic microenvironments that effectively support nerve repair. The developed GrooveNeuroTube is composed of hyaluronic acid methacrylate and gelatin methacrylate hydrogel, incorporating active agents (growth factors and antibacterial agents) encapsulated within an NGC conduit made of 3D-printed PCL grid fibers.
