Use of scaffolds as sacrificial templates for bone ingrowth is the basis of bone tissue regeneration. The main reasons for using bone scaffolds are to provide an environment for bone formation, maintain the space and at the same time supply mechanical support to the skeleton during healing process1. Bone healing can be significantly improved by applying electrical stimuli in the injured region. Thus, electrically active ceramics with three-dimensional porous structure are of interest as bone graft substitute materials2. Highly porous TiO2 ceramic scaffolds has attracted particular attention as a bone substitute material due to its excellent mechanical properties compared to other ceramic materials, biocompatibility and good osteoconductivity3. Thus, our research goal was to obtain electroconductive and 3D porous TiO2 ceramic scaffolds. Such materials could enhance bone healing process by providing electrical stimuli in the regeneration site of bone defects.
