Domes, 5 and 8 mm in diameter, were made of expanded polytetrafluorethylene membrane with different degrees of stiffness and internodal distance. The domes were placed on denuded calvarial bones of rats and covered by the skin and periosteal flaps. Histologic evaluation 9 to 16 weeks after surgery showed the formation of various amounts of new bone on the calvarial bone surface inside the domes. The amount of bone neogenesis was dependent on membrane qualities, such as stiffness and porosity, and the length of the healing period. In the most successful experiments, about 80% of the dome volume was filled with newly formed bone, whereas in other experiments considerable amounts of connective tissue were present. Using bioabsorbable membrane domes proved less successful in that they did not maintain their shape and thus did not provide space for bone formation. This study showed that it is possible to obtain bone neogenesis by an osteopromotive membrane technique. This possibility may eventually be of great significance for reconstructive surgery.

The development of a successful bone grafting technology with cohesive and adhesive properties has been an elusive goal for dental and orthopedic researchers. Tetracalcium phosphate combined with phosphoserine (TTCP-PS) is a synthetic, injectable, cohesive, self-setting, mineral-organic wet-field adhesive. The objective of this study was to evaluate four formulations of TTCP-PS in comparison to the conventional grafting materials, Bioglass and deproteinized cancellous bovine bone with a bioresorbable collagen membrane in standardized defects created in the angle of the rat mandible.

Biodegradable magnesium-based metal guided bone regeneration (GBR) membranes possess excellent mechanical properties, biodegradability, and osteopromotive capabilities, making them ideal implants for the treatment of maxillofacial bone defects. This review summarizes the current status and future research trends related to magnesium-based GBR membranes. First, the research history and application fields of magnesium-based metals are introduced, and the advantages of the use of magnesium-based materials for GBR membranes, including their mechanical properties, biocompatibility, osteopromotive performance, and underlying mechanisms are discussed.

Artificial bone grafting materials such as collagen are gaining interest due to the ease of production and implantation. However, collagen must be supplemented with additional coating materials for improved osteointegration. Here, we report room-temperature atomic layer deposition (ALD) of MgO, a novel method to coat collagen membranes with MgO.

The membranes used in bone reconstructions have been the object of investigation in the field of tissue engineering, seeking to improve their mechanical strength and add other properties, mainly the osteopromotive. This study aimed to evaluate the functionalization of collagen membranes, with atomic layer deposition of TiO on the bone repair of critical defects in rat calvaria and subcutaneous biocompatibility. A total of 39 male rats were randomized into four groups: blood clot (BC), collagen membrane (COL), COL 150-150 cycles of titania, and COL 600-600 cycles of titania.

Purpose: To evaluate the in vivo efficiency of commercial polymeric membranes for guided bone regeneration.

Methods: Rat calvarial critical size defects was treated with LuminaCoat (LC), Surgitime PTFE (SP), GenDerm (GD), Pratix (PR), Techgraft (TG) or control (C-) and histomorphometric analysis determined the percentage of new bone, connective tissue and biomaterial at 1 or 3 months. Statistical analysis used ANOVA with Tukey's post-test for means at same experimental time and the paired Student's t test between the two periods, considering p < 0.
