Abstract:This study aimed to evaluate the properties of radiation cross‐linked collagen scaffold (RCS) and its efficacy for alveolar ridge preservation (ARP). RCS was prepared from collagen dispersion by electron beam irradiation and freeze‐drying. The microstructure, swelling ratio, area alteration and mechanical properties of RCS were characterized. Fifty‐four New Zealand rabbits performing incisor extraction on maxilla and mandible were randomly assigned into positive, sham operation or treatment groups. Micro‐compu… Show more
