Found it,

CT-Bone,
“becomes your own bone”
but is it good???
More information below)
There were threads years ago about this on Sluthate and Lookism about some type of organic bone material, that is implanted into your face, that can eventually become your own bone. Not your own bone or a donors.
It was meant for old people, or deformed people, and was supposedly in the works of being developed. I’m not sure if it was finished, I can’t find it since Sluthate was taken down.
Are their Sluthate archives of all the good threads? So much useful information, a lot better than here.
Anyone know of this? Any news or info on this?

CT-Bone®: real bone from the 3D Printer
Patients requiring skeletal augmentation, for example those with facial asymmetry resulting from either trauma or congenital defects, would be helped best with a bony implant made to match their anatomy. Typical bone augmentation implants are made from alloplastic materials (like PEEK or titanium) or the patient’s own bone is cut and repositioned. CT-Bone® is a bone-like customized implant that can be 3D printed and is converted to real bone by the patient.
After taking a CT-scan of the patient, a patient-specific implant is designed by our biomedical engineers in collaboration with the surgeon. This design perfectly fits on the anatomy of the patient, ensuring good bone-to-implant contact and facilitating bony ingrowth. The design is 3D printed in calcium phosphate, the main constituent of natural bone. The 3D printing process has a very high accuracy, resulting in implants that fit perfectly onto the bone of the patient, as designed. Even very complex shapes and designs can be 3D printed; for example 3D printing enables the production of implants with engineered (controlled) porosity, similar to natural bone. When implanted, CT-Bone®unifies with the patient’s own bone in the next months.
From CT-scan to 3D model to patient-specific implant design
Unlike other 3D printed ceramics (like Hydroxyapatite or Beta-TCP), CT-Bone® does not require a thermal process (sintering) to increase mechanical strength and therefore also displays better bony fusion (sintering increases crystallinity which adversely affects biodegradability). Sintering also causes shrinkage of ceramics which results in a non-optimal fit. Since CT-Bone® does not require sintering it displays better bony fusion and is dimensionally stable, so it keeps a perfect fit.
Other manufacturing methods typically produce random porosity, whereas the process of 3D printing allows complex shapes and 100% interconnected porosity.
CT-Bone® is brought to you by Xilloc in collaboration with Next21 (Tokyo, Japan) and is awaiting regulatory approval under the new MDR in Europe.
