Two ZI assemblies (Nobel Biocare and Noris Medical) were scanned in a micro-CT scanner and reconstructed using Nrecon software.

This work reports a simple method to produce Sr-doped 3D-printed CaP scaffolds, using Sr-doping to induce partial phase transformation from β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) to hydroxyapatite (HA), resulting in a doped biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) scaffold. Strontium carbonate (SrCO<sub>3</sub>) was incorporated in the formulation of the 3D-printing ink, studying β-TCP:SrO mass ratios of 100:0, 95:5, and 90:10 (named as β-TCP, β-TCP/5-Sr, and β-TCP/10-Sr, respectively). Adding SrCO<sub>3</sub> in the 3D-printing ink led to a slight increase in viscosity but did not affect its printability, resulting in scaffolds with a high printing fidelity compared to the computational design. Interestingly, Sr was incorporated into the lattice structure of the scaffolds, forming hydroxyapatite (HA). No residual SrO or SrCO<sub>3</sub> were observed in the XRD patterns of any composition, and HA was the majority phase of the β-TCP/10-Sr scaffolds. The addition of Sr increased the compression strength of the scaffolds, with both β-TCP/5-Sr and β-TCP/10-Sr performing better than the β-TCP. Overall, β-TCP/5-Sr presented higher mineralized nodules and mechanical strength, while β-TCP scaffolds presented superior cell viability. The incorporation of SrCO<sub>3</sub> in the ink formulation is a viable method to obtain Sr-BCP scaffolds.
