According to the World Health Organization (WHO), less than half of the world's population is covered by essential healthcare services and progress is needed in developing affordable solutions. The AffordBoneS project aims to provide personalized and affordable scaffolds for bone augmentation procedures to allow a larger population to have access to these treatments and improve their quality of the life. It is estimated that in Europe alone, 1.5 million augmentation procedures are required annually. Obtaining an affordable and mass-customizable solution for maxillofacial bone augmentation procedures is essential for dental implants when the patient does not have enough bone to attach the implantable screw, to which the dental prosthesis is attached. The AffordBoneS solution is to treat these patients with biomimetic scaffolds obtained by using 3D printable calcium phosphate multi-substituted with ions.
