Abstract:ObjectivesCollagen membranes are extensively used for guided bone regeneration procedures, primarily for horizontal bone augmentation. More recently, it has been demonstrated that collagen membranes promote bone regeneration. Present study aimed at assessing if structural modifications of collagen membranes may enhance their osteoconductive capacity.MethodsTwenty‐four adult Wistar rats were used. Bilateral calvaria defects with a diameter of 5 mm were prepared and covered with prototypes of collagen membranes … Show more
