Abstract:
BACKGROUND:3D bioprinting has been used to print a variety of tissues including skin,vascular tissues,liver,cartilage,cardiac tissues,ear,and adipose tissues.OBJECTIVE:To review the application of 3D bioprinting technology in printing tissues or organs and its research progress in oral medicine.METHODS:A computer-based retrieval of PubMed and CNKI was performed to search articles concerning the application of 3D bioprinting technology in printing tissues,organs and stomatology which were published from 2006 to 2016,using the keywords of 3D bioprinting,3D pinting,organs,tissues,tissue engineering,stomatology,oral,cranio-maxillofacial in English and Chinese,respectively.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Direct cell-bioprinting is still in its early stage,even though 3D bioprinting has been applied to print various tissues such as skin,vascular tissues,liver,cartilage and cardiac tissues,etc.Although additive manufacturing technology has been widely used for printing different scaffolds of tissues and organs nowadays,there are no successful bioprinted tissues with biological functions in clinical practice.Even in oral medicine,most of the studies still remain in the stage of printing biological scaffolds.It is a long way to solve the problems such as source of cells,materials of biological scaffolds and types of extracellular matrix in the future,due to the complexity of human organism structure and the function expression of various tissues and organs.
