FABRICATION OF ORAL & MAXILLOFACIAL BIOCERAMIC STUCTURES

描述：该项目将创造一种新的设计和制造工艺 定制口腔、颌面部和整形外科骨替代植入物 陶瓷材料。这项技术涉及到获得 现有的结构，使用商业软件修改它们，并设计 缺失的解剖部分，然后经过改造以适应现有的组织。 一种专有(压路机/叠层实体制造)快速原型是 由医用级氧化铝预制层(承载)层叠而成， 羟基磷灰石(骨传导和诱导性)，或磷酸三钙 (骨诱导的和可吸收的)陶瓷板或带，然后烧成 最终的固体陶瓷结构。 建议的商业应用：不可用

DESCRIPTION: This project will create a new process to design and fabricate customized oral, maxillofacial, and orthopedic bone substitute implants from ceramic materials. The technology involves obtaining 3-D medical images of existing structures, modifying them using commercial software and designing the missing anatomic parts, which are then engineered to fit the existing tissues. A proprietary (SteamRoller/Laminated Object Manufacturing) rapid prototype is made by laminating preformed layers of medical-grade alumina (load-bearing), hydroxyapatite (osteoconductive and -inductive), or tricalcium phosphate (osteoinductive and resorbable) ceramic sheets or tapes, followed by firing of the final solid ceramic structure.
