I'm not taken by the hype until they produce evidence of "real bone" ingrowth. Remember you all got worked up about CT bone a few years ago and that turned out to be...... a lot of marketing hype and not much else.
This technology could be the biggest break through ever in the field of craniofacial surgery.
it's only gonna be of use for grafts between small osteotomies. Then maybe real bone can be induced to fill it in, but as an onlay that you suggest for cheekbone, chin implants etc. NO. It cannot work for that because there is no way to induce real bone to grow through it. Further it is biodegradable so as an implant it will slowly disappear. End of story. You should lock this thread.
Lol.You would be surprised.

And regarding the product hyperelastic bone, I share Lazlos opinion:And as I have already said:I AM NOT IMPRESSED.
It seems as if something has happened in the meantime.https://3dprint.com/207618/hyperelastic-bone-now-available/
the problem though is that i doubt it can be used as an onlay so probably not great for implants come to think of it. ugh....
