Repairing children’s skull injuries with 3D resorbable magnesium implants

Mert Celikin (He/him) (Assistant Professor / Lecturer, University College Dublin)
Face, skull and jaw defects in children are severely debilitating, where the patient not only suffers physically but also psychologically. Currently, non-resorbable implants are being used to address these defects where a second operation is routinely required to remove the devices. The realisation of customised Biodegradable Magnesium Implants take us one step closer to overcoming the limitations of current technology. The potential use of desktop 3D-printers is investigated for cost-efficient processing of Mg-based implants which will reduce the safety risks associated with other 3D-printing technologies.
