3D printed and implanted, the story of the first ceramic skull implant

Ceramics 3D printing and biomedical have had a common history for several years and it still goes on. The biomedical sector is a forefront activity sector focused on the new technologies that could help them to overcome barriers and push boundaries. The story goes back to 2007, when, thanks to the collaboration between Joel Brie, a maxillofacial surgeon at the University Hospital of Limoges and 3DCeram allowed the realization of concrete cases of implantology in Hydroxyapatite that we propose to share here. A success story that lasts to this day!
