In this episode of The Cool Parts Show, we look at a proof-of-concept solution from Lithoz in which 3D printed bioceramics take the place of both cortical and cancellous bone. The mandibular implant (jaw implant) shown features a zirconia cage to provide strength and stability, plus inserts made from tricalcium phosphate (TCP) that serve as artificial bone graft. All were made using Lithography-based Ceramic Manufacturing (LCM), a digital light processing (DLP) technique. This video was filmed March 9, 2020.
