Abstract:Insufficient alveolar bone height is a major problem in implant restoration surgery. Here, the therapeutic strategy of restoring the electrical microenvironment to enhance alveolar bone augmentation was investigated in a standardized large-size beagle dog pre-clinical model. A biomimetic
charged nano-BaTiO3/poly(vinylidene fluoridetrifluoroethylene) (nano-BTO/P(VDF-TrFE)) composite membrane was used to restore the endogenous electrical microenvironment of alveolar bone. The charged membrane exhibited excellen… Show more
