This presentation highlights the development of biodegradable polymer scaffolds reinforced with a combination of nano-hydroxyapatite, nanoclay, and other bioactive nanoparticles to enhance both mechanical and biological performance. The nanocomposites exhibited improved strength, hydrophilicity, and controlled degradation, closely mimicking the structure of natural bone tissue. In vitro evaluations revealed enhanced osteogenic cell proliferation, mineralization, and biocompatibility compared to pure polymers. The synergistic effects of multiple nanoparticles provide a stable and bioactive environment for bone regeneration, making these scaffolds promising candidates for maxillofacial and orthopedic tissue engineering applications.
