A comparison of the in vitro resorption rate of human amnion membrane and commercially available bovine collagen membrane for potential periodontal applications
Abstract:Introduction: There is a dire need for a reliable substitute for the connective tissue autografts for root coverage procedures. Recently, human amnion membrane is increasingly being used in this regard. This study investigates the in vitro resorption rate of human amnion membrane and compares it with the resorption rate of commercially available bovine collagen membrane. Materials and Methods: Thickness of human amnion membrane samples and bovine collagen membranes were measured. The in vitro resorption tests … Show more
