Bio-scaffold International (BSI) is a home grown Biotechnology company based in Singapore has developed a process to fabricate non-load bearing tissue scaffolds, specially for Dental sockets and related products in collaboration with a team of researchers from A*STAR Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology and Clinicians from National University of Singapore. The product helps in preservation and conservation of bone height , volume and density eliminating the need for bone grafting at a later stage. BSI uses a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Poly lactico glycolic acid (PLGA) for fabrication of scaffold with pre-determined pore architecture and strength. The new method allows re-creation of the scaffold within a short time with the necessary physical and mechanical properties. The scaffold is designed for s! timulating the bone tissue healing and preservation of bone height,volume and density. The degradation rate of the scaffold is tailored to provide the necessary space for bone tissue healing.
