What is it about?
The magnesium-doped wollastonite exhibited outstanding mechanincal properties including compressive strength, flexible strength and elastic modulus after undergoing a conventional pressureless sintering. This new material can be used for customing the fully interconnected porous implants with irregular morphology and high enough strength for the bone reconstrcution in a variety of bone defects via additive manufacture technology.

Why is it important?
The craniofacial bone is very thin and poor blood supply. It is still a great challenge for the bone defects in tramua and diseased craniofacial conditions clinically.
Perspectives
It is reseanoble to consider that our new materials could resovle this clinical issue in the nearly future with accomplishing the clinical test in the following three years.
