A new technology from Varanasi and College of Dentistry researchers could stand to revolutionize the treatment process, giving medical professionals another option for healing bone, and a significantly faster one at that.

It’s called 3-D live printing, a process in which substances such as bioactive biopolymers are integrated with bioceramic materials and literally printed onto the affected area, forming a scaffolding rich in blood, and with it, oxygen, for new bone to grow.

“Our bioceramics are biodegradable, or they can be engulfed through cells,” Varanasi explains. “The intent in the end is to rapidly deliver the therapeutic, induce the healing at an earlier point, and then allow the cells and the tissue to overtake the material, consume the material, and allow for full restoration of natural bone.

We have also initiated research collaboration's and projects with Texas A&M and Clemson University focused on exploring the feasibility of new biomedical applications for silicon nitride.

Texas A&M has the technique, Sintx has the material. Why is it they announce collaborations with Texas A&M and barely mention Clemson but still will not disclose the R&D partner from 2015?
