We developed PLA/ β ‐TCP composites with a novel sintering method in order to enhance cellular interaction with matrices for bone regeneration. Thereafter, we confirmed the superior bone‐forming characteristics of PLA/ β ‐TCP cell‐composite constructs resulting from greater surface exposure of the β ‐TCP particles, which may yield higher osteogenic and osteoconductive properties.
