Abstract
experiments. MC3T3-E1 cells were distributed homogeneously on the NPP scaffolds and stimulated cellular proliferation. When the NPP scaffolds were grafted into the sockets after extraction of mandibular incisors, the height and width of alveolar bone resorption were reduced, and new bone formation was observed. These NPP composites are promising scaffold materials for alveolar ridge preservation and 3D printing of bone grafts in future.
