Identification of an Optimal Gyroid Microarchitecture of 3D-Printed Hydroxyapatite Bone Substitutes for Vertical Bone Augmentation and Osteoconduction
A Chulalongkorn-Zurich collaboration compared three 3D-printed hydroxyapatite gyroid spacings in rabbits. The 0.50 mm design was mechanically stronger and bridged defects well, while 0.80/1.10 mm designs achieved more vertical height; the authors judged 1.10 mm the best compromise across both models. These are rabbit, not human, results.
