7 Conclusion
Patient-specic implants fabricated by CAD/CAM technology from virtual models can functionally replace mandibular bone defects. The surgeon should consider this method along with the previously introduced techniques with successful results and should choose the well treatment plan for each patient with the right rational. Moreover, he/she should not forget the potential of the patient’s own body to regen­erate itself. Indeed, the regenerative potential should be considered rst and, then, move to replacement if this is not possible.

1 Introduction
Selection of the best set of techniques and materials to reconstruct maxillofacial defects has remained somewhat challenging [1]. Application of autogenous bone is considered as the gold-standard treatment with high success rates. However, modal­ities, such as patient discomfort, donor site morbidity, immune rejection, disease transmission, unpredictable resorption rates, limited availability, and requiring complicated surgical methods and prolonged hospitalization periods, can limit application of bone grafting treatment [2]. To avoid the above disadvantages, tissue engineering strategies, including application of cells and biomaterials, have gained substantial attention [35]. This has resulted in an ongoing search for alternative treatment choices [68].
Various biomaterials have been proposed in this regard. Allografts, as one of the most commonly used ones, do not meet the requirements of osteoinductive signals and vascularity [9]. The limited availability of these grafts is becoming an increas­ingly important problem as the demand for reconstructive strategies grows, in addi­tion to other concerns, such as immune responses and infection transmission [1012].
Integration of computer-aided designing and manufacturing (CAD-CAM) tech­nologies and the reconstructive maxillofacial eld has allowed individualized and patient-specic application of bone tissue-engineered implants (i.e., functional bone regeneration). This has allowed development of scaffolds in complete

accordance with defects topography and patient and implantation conditions [13
15]. Thus, tissue engineering-based repair of the bony defects with the help of CAD/
CAM is thought to be a superior option, since the regeneration process may employ the patient’s native tissue, and some constraints of conventional methods could be overcome [16, 17].
It is vital to engineer bone regeneration in a way that allows the materials to endure the earliest stages of healing and implantation in order to create a substitute. This typically means that the regular cellular, biochemical, and biomechanical obstacles must be overcome in a specic site as well as that bone must form quite rapidly [18, 19].
This chapter discusses the underlying biological and functional background of bone tissue engineering, essential points of designing and manufacturing scaffolds, and clinical procedures of functional bone regeneration. In addition, clinical cases of maxillofacial bone regeneration are presented.

2 Definition
Using tissue engineering techniques for bone repair and regeneration, researchers are attempting to stimulate new bone formation by the application of a synergistic mixture of growth factors and cells in conjunction with a biomaterial scaffold [20]. Functional bone regeneration reects this regenerative thinking, where a bioengi­neered patient-specic implant is placed in the defective area to be gradually degraded and replaced by new bone to restore function and esthetics. In contrast to functional bone replacement or bone contouring, this approach will not leave a syn­thetic substrate in the body, and parallel to deposition of new bone, the grafted scaf­fold degenerates.
3 Functional andBiological Considerations
To achieve bone regeneration, functional and biological aspects must be thoroughly considered and precisely employed in designing the treatment procedure. Long­term survival and regulated cell proliferation are required to establish tissue homeo­stasis in the freshly created bone [21]. Proliferation of cells should conform to a balanced course; scaffold’s viability may be affected by inadequate proliferation, while excessive proliferation might result in hyperplasia and apoptosis. The scaf­fold’s architecture should be well-structured, with proper porosity and interconnec­tivity of pores, mechanical properties, and degradation kinetics [22].
3.1 Porosity
Early in the process of bone regeneration, bone formation occurs near the perimeter of scaffolds, with a negative gradient in mineralization occurring in the inner

sections of the scaffolds. When it comes to the continuous ingrowth of bone tissue, interconnected porosity is of great importance, because it allows nutrients and bio­active molecules to transfer to the interior regions of the scaffold to aid cell prolif­eration, vascularization, and waste material disposal [23, 24]. Pore size of the scaffold should be between 100 and 500μm in order to guide mesenchymal stem cells’ migration, proliferation, and differentiation, provide oxygen and nutrients, and promote diffusion of the bioagents causing bone formation in inner layers [25
30]. Pore size below 100μm promotes chondrogenesis and eventual ossication,
while pore size over 100 μm induces direct ossication, but only up to a size (approximately 500μm), where the scaffold’s durability is not compromised [31]. Generally, higher porosity leads to faster biodegradation [32]. Very small pore size obstructs the bone ingrowth and evokes a foreign body reaction [28]. It has been shown that scaffolds with pore size greater than 300μm promote increased bone growth and vascularization [31, 33].
121
3.2 Mechanical Properties
The mechanical characteristics should be like those of natural bone. Mechanical strength is more important when considering restoring load-bearing or critical-sized defects [3436]. Mechanical strength is determined by the scaffold’s chemical com­position, size, form, surface modication, and porosity [37]. Unfortunately, most of the scaffold materials fail to properly imitate the physical characteristics of native bone, such as elastic modulus. The elastic modulus of the condyle and the mandibu­lar body are 120–450MPa and 112–910MPa, respectively [38]. In comparison, the elastic modulus of most scaffolds fabricated via three-dimensional (3D) printing ranges between 10 and 100MPa, which is much lower than the natural bone [37]. This may be the main obstacle to FBR application in load-bearing areas. The elastic modulus in 3D printed scaffolds increases as the quantity of ceramic increases, as well as when the porosity is reduced [39].
External surface topography of the scaffold should be rough enough to promote surface ground for cell adhesion and proliferation while also tightly consolidating with adjacent natural bone [25, 26, 4043].
Furthermore, since brous tissue invasion is the primary cause of scaffold fail­ure, the exterior surface should function as a barrier [28, 44, 45]. Covering the scaf­fold with a membrane is another way to prevent brous tissue invasion [26, 46, 47].
The biomaterial’s swelling and shrinking may harm the scaffold’s success, caus­ing contamination and inammation at defect borders, as well as immune system response.
3.3 Degradation
Degradation of the scaffold must follow a predictable and controllable rate. An ideal scaffold’s degradation rate should follow the corresponding cells’ capability to

resorb the biomaterial and replace it with their own produced ECM.Optimal regen­erative outcomes are achieved using biocompatible scaffolds with a degradation rate analogous to new bone formation [48]. In this process, cells release proteases and eventually produce ECM proteins dening the new tissue [21]. Biodegradation, whether via a cell-mediated process or chemical dissolution, is critical for ensuring stable healing and scaffold replacement with new bone that leaves no residual syn­thetic material [23]. Materials utilized in bone regeneration must be absorbed grad­ually, allowing the newly created tissue to take its place. Indeed, the delayed degradation of the scaffolds may result in dehiscence as well as microbial contami­nation of the environment [37]. However, it has been reported that scaffold rem­nants could be traced in histological sections of functional regenerated bone even after a long time (Fig.1) [49].
The kinetics of degradation and the mechanical characteristics of the material are inextricably linked. Lower mechanical strength is followed by a faster degradation pace [50, 51]. The high degradation rate promotes rapid bone turnover, prevents inammation, and guards against bro gingival dehiscence and invasion [51]. As mentioned before, scaffolds with higher porosity degrade faster [32]. It is men­tioned that the scaffolds which are not fully degraded may be misinterpreted as new bone [13].
Controlling degradation by-products is particularly difcult; the entire process should be harmless, and degradation products should metabolize quickly without posing a risk to cell survival and function [37].

4 Indications
Decision-making about whether a patient is a proper candidate for bone regeneration therapy or not is a considerable challenging preliminary step. The clinical judgment of surgeon should be based on the patient’s and defective site’s risk factors (Fig.2). Cautions must be taken since patients who underwent radiotherapy treatments or have continuity bone defects are not good candidates for bone regeneration treat­ments, and more studies are required to determine the treatment success in them.
5 Risk Factors
5.1 Recipient Site Characteristics
Recipient site morphology and characteristics remarkably inuence the outcome of regenerative procedures [52]. The recipient site’s potential for new bone formation impacts success of regenerative therapy; for instance, healing and regeneration are delayed and scant in a defective site with diminished vascularity or cellularity [53].
124
https://t.me/medicina_free
Additionally, the dimension of the defect should not be higher than the penetra­tion ability of cells and vessels [54]. In large grafts, the vascularization could not be completed, jeopardizing regeneration and healing processes [55]. Most trials per­formed on humans have reported that defects wider than 12 mm in height and 10mm in width were not considered to respond well to this modality and hence were not treated [15, 56, 57]. However, defects as large as 30mm×20mm have been treated with tissue-engineered scaffolds in animal models [5861].
The shape of the defect is critical to the effectiveness of bone in-growth; for example, it is better to have a wide surface connection with native bone and, as a result, closeness to osteoprogenitor cells and greater surface area for providing vas­cularization [62]. It has been mentioned in the literature that broad alveolar ridges respond better to regenerative therapies compared to narrower ones [63]. In defects surrounded by fewer numbers of bony walls, the possibility of ap or membrane collapse is higher, and it can blemish the initial blood clot formed in the regenera­tive space [64]. Scaffolds that only connect to the natural bone by one narrow wall have a higher risk of failure [65, 66].
In addition to the morphological and dimensional considerations, anatomical site of the defect might also play a crucial role in osteogenesis. Anterior and posterior portions of maxilla or mandible contain divergent quality, so they might illustrate different regenerative potency [53].

5.2 Vascularity
Simultaneous development of angiogenesis and osteogenesis has a determinant role in both physiological bone repair after injury and successful bone regeneration [62]. Bone regeneration necessitates copious angiogenesis [67]; nevertheless, despite recent advances in tissue-engineered approaches, making it a competent option, bone regeneration is still facing the problem of low or insufcient vascularity [8]. Naturally, bone is an exceedingly vascularized and innervated tissue [68]. Blood vessels of bone have many essential roles in remodeling, development, and growth [69]. Vascular endothelial cells inuence the dynamic balance of osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis through various signaling pathways. The bioactive scaffold uti­lized during functional bone regeneration should allow blood vessels to colonize, in addition to being biocompatible [69].
During bone repair and regeneration, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), residing in the bone marrow that are precursors of osteoblasts, differenti­ate and migrate to the surface to engage in regeneration process. This process is utterly related to invasion of blood vessels to the defective site [70]. Blood vessels provide oxygen and nutrients to newly formed osteoblasts and dispose waste metab­olites, by creating a local circulation, and also directly promote new bone formation [71]. Revascularization directly affects bone regeneration by osteogenic cell con­densation and differentiation [72]. The rst step in angiogenesis is activation of host vasculature by angiogenic growth factors, such as vascular endothelial growth fac­tor (VEGF) or basic broblast growth factor (bFGF) [73]. Afterward, existing

vessels begin to germinate into the scaffold [74, 75]. The developing vessels con­tinue to grow into the scaffold and create an interconnected microvascular net­work [76].
There could be different strategies to secure the scaffold’s blood supply and rela­tive regenerated bone (Fig.3) [8]. The classic vascularization strategy relies on the
