The aim of the study was systematically review feasibility using PLA/bioceramic manufactured by 3D-printing technologies grafting materials in preclinical vivo studies. Electronic databases were searched specific search terms, and thirteen manuscripts selected after screening. synthesis carried out mainly extrusion-based techniques. Likewise, hydroxyapatite most used bioceramic for synthesizing composites a PLA matrix. Among studies, seven conducted rats six rabbits, but high variability that exists regarding experimental process made it difficult compare them. Regarding results, PLA/Bioceramic shown be biocompatible mechanically resistant. Preclinical studies elucidated ability grafts, allowing growing without adverse reactions. In conclusion, PLA/Bioceramics been demonstrated promising treating defects. Nevertheless, more care should taken designing performing trials, since lack standardization processes, which prevents comparison results reduces quality information. polylactic acid/bioceramic Since animal models represent mandatory step clinical translation, present manuscript analyzed discussed not only those aspects related selection material, implants their characterization.
