Description

Barrier membranes play a critical role in the success of guide bone regeneration (GBR) surgery in dentistry. Collagen-based membranes are more advantageous for delivering excellent bioactivity compared to other types of membranes. However, the lack of enough mechanical stability makes their applications challenging in GBR. This research investigated the potential of biodegradable magnesium micro-wires (MMWs) for the reinforcement of the collagen-based barrier membrane for ridge augmentation simultaneously having a stimulating effect on the bone formation. The results showed the promising role of MMWs in the development of new generation of biodegradable mechanically stable nutrient GBR membranes entitled "Collagen-based Composite Membrane".

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
