Evaluation of novel resorbable membranes for bone augmentation in a rat model
ConclusionsOur study showed that the use of PTMC membranes and PTMC?BCP composite membranes resulted in similar bone remodelling to the collagen membranes and e?PTFE membranes and that the use of barrier membranes did not interfere with bone remodelling of the bone grafts and recipient bones.
