“…Ceramic biomaterials such as CaP, halloysite, alumina and zirconia contain many applications in dentistry. HA is one of the optimum ceramic materials for dental implants due to its excellent biocompatibility [112]. However, due to high elasticity modulus, HA is brittle and often used as a coating associated with other materials [113].…”

Three-dimensional (3D) and four-dimensional (4D) printing have emerged as the next-generation fabrication technologies, covering a broad spectrum of areas, including construction, medicine, transportation, and textiles. 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM), allows the fabrication of complex structures with high precision via a layer-by-layer addition of various materials. On the other hand, 4D printing technology enables printing smart materials that can alter their shape, properties, and functions upon a stimulus, such as solvent, radiation, heat, pH, magnetism, current, pressure, and relative humidity (RH). Myriad of biomedical materials (BMMs) currently serve in many biomedical engineering fields aiding patients’ needs and expanding their life-span. 3D printing of BMMs provides geometries that are impossible via conventional processing techniques, while 4D printing yields dynamic BMMs, which are intended to be in long-term contact with biological systems owing to their time-dependent stimuli responsiveness. This review comprehensively covers the most recent technological advances in 3D and 4D printing towards fabricating BMMs for tissue engineering, drug delivery, surgical and diagnostic tools, and implants and prosthetics. In addition, the challenges and gaps of 3D and 4D printed BMMs, along with their future outlook, are also extensively discussed. The current review also addresses the scarcity in the literature on the composition, properties, and performances of 3D and 4D printed BMMs in medical applications and their pros and cons. Moreover, the content presented would be immensely beneficial for material scientists, chemists, and engineers engaged in AM manufacturing and clinicians in the biomedical field.

“…Ceramic materials have several advantages that make them ideal for orthopaedic implants. They have a hard surface, high mechanical stiffness, low elasticity, low thermal expansion, and chemical-physical refractoriness, but their properties are also influenced by the composition and particle size of the starting powder (Chen et al, 2021;Affatato, 2019;Mhadhbi et al, 2021). Ceramic scaffolds are widely used in bone regeneration procedures because they are highly biocompatible, rarely elicit an immune response, and rarely cause fibrous tissue to form around the scaffold; instead, they are osteoinductive due to their high ability to recruit cells from the biological environment and promote osteogenic differentiation (Dolcimascolo et al, 2019;Donate et al, 2020;Gao et al, 2022).…”

Due to the increase in traffic accidents, industrial contingencies, and natural disasters, there is a high demand for bone regeneration biomaterials. Although bone can regenerate and self-repair, it is difficult to do so when the defect area exceeds the critical repair area due to trauma, tumour resection, or congenital diseases. The traditional methods for bone repair are autograft, allograft, and xenograft. However, these methods have flaws and limitations, such as complications in the donor bone area, a limited number of donors, rejection, and infectious diseases. However, in recent years, the use of additive manufacturing technologies in bone tissue engineering has increased. Three-dimensional printing (3DP) is gaining popularity among the various technology options due to its ability to directly print porous composite with designed shape, controlled chemistry, and interconnected porosity. Some of these inorganic composites are biodegradable and have proven ideal for bone tissue engineering, with the ability to deliver growth factors or drugs to specific sites. The purpose of this study is to discuss recent advancements in 3D printed bone tissue engineering composite, as well as current challenges and future directions.

“…Furthermore, these new class of materials play a major role in the high-tech industry, energy, biomedical, military industry, solar cells, and fuel cells due to their specific high-temperature mechanical and optical properties, their biocompatibility, and their unique composite effects of light, sound, electricity, magnetism, heat, or function. In this context, many excellent researches have been reported on smart and advanced ceramic materials [3][4][5][6][7][8].…”
