Ossifying fibroma (OF) is a rare, benign, fibro-osseous lesion of the jawbone characterised by replacement of the normal bone with fibrous tissue. The fibrous tissue shows varying amount of calcified structures resembling bone and/or cementum. The central variant of OF is rare, and shows predilection for mandible among the jawbone. Although it is classified as fibro-osseous lesion, it clinically behaves as a benign tumour and can grow to large size, causing bony swelling and facial asymmetry. This paper reports a case of large central OF of mandible in a 40-year-old male patient. The lesion was treated by segmental resection of mandible. Reconstruction of the surgical defect was done using avascular fibula bone graft. Role of three-dimensional printing of jaw and its benefits in surgical planning and reconstruction are also highlighted.

AbstractThe three-dimensional printing of cells offers an attractive opportunity to design and develop innovative biotechnological applications, such as the fabrication of biosensors or modular bioreactors. Living materials (LMs) are cross-linked polymeric hydrogel matrices containing cells, and recently, one of the most deployed LMs consists of F127-bis-urethane methacrylate (F127-BUM). The material properties of F127-BUM allow reproducible 3D printing and stability of LMs in physiological environments. These materials are permissible for small molecules like glucose and ethanol. However, no information is available for oxygen, which is essential— for example, towards the development of aerobic bioprocesses using microbial cell factories. To address this challenge, we investigated the role of oxygen as a terminal electron acceptor in the budding yeast’s respiratory chain and determined its permissibility in LMs. We quantified the ability of cell-retaining LMs to utilize oxygen and compared it with cells in suspension culture. We found that the cells’ ability to consume oxygen was heavily impaired inside LMs, indicating that the metabolism mostly relied on fermentation instead of respiration. To demonstrate an application of these 3D printed LMs, we evaluated a comparative brewing process. The analysis showed a significantly higher (3.7%) ethanol production using 3D printed LMs than traditional brewing, indicating an efficient control of the metabolism. Towards molecular and systems biology studies using LMs, we developed a highly reliable method to isolate cells from LMs for flow cytometry and further purified macromolecules (proteins, RNA, and DNA). Our results show the application of F127-BUM-based LMs for microaerobic processes and envision the development of diverse bioprocesses using versatile LMs in the future.

The three-dimensional printing of scaffolds is an interesting alternative to the traditional techniques of periodontal regeneration. This technique uses computer assisted design and manufacturing after CT scan. After 3D modelling, individualized scaffolds are printed by extrusion, selective laser sintering, stereolithography, or powder bed inkjet printing. These scaffolds can be made of one or several materials such as natural polymers, synthetic polymers, or bioceramics. They can be monophasic or multiphasic and tend to recreate the architectural structure of the periodontal tissue. In order to enhance the bioactivity and have a higher regeneration, the scaffolds can be embedded with stem cells and/or growth factors. This new technique could enhance a complete periodontal regeneration. This review summarizes the application of 3D printed scaffolds in periodontal regeneration. The process, the materials and designs, the key advantages and prospects of 3D bioprinting are highlighted, providing new ideas for tissue regeneration.

Dentistry is truly a great profession and recently it is coming to the terms of use of technology and tech-savvy dentists, who nowadays use smart devices to make their life easier. Researchers are constantly innovating to integrate techno-logy into dentistry. Of all the latest technological innovations in dentistry, the most talked about innovations are three-dimensional (3D) printing and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), which have made the treatment planning and execution a whole lot easier. Three-dimensional printing like CBCT has been gaining much popularity in the masses. Three-dimensional printing technologies are evolving rapidly in the recent years and can be used with a wide array of different materials. In addition to rapid prototyping, the dominant use in the past, they are now being used in all manner of manufacturing applications in a diversity of industries such as sports goods, fashion items such as jewelry and necklaces to aerospace components, tools for automobile industry, and medical implants also in dentistry for producing models, making scaffolds, etc. In future, 3D printing has ability to change the way many products are manufactured and produced and bring an era of ‘personal manufacturing’. This article introduces 3D printing and gives little information about the technology behind the working of 3D printers. It also gives information about the applications of 3D printers and materials most often used for 3D printed scaffolds for periodontal regeneration.
