Bioresorbable zinc hydroxyapatite guided bone regeneration membrane for bone regeneration

Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the bone regenerative properties of a heat treated cross‐linked GBR membrane with zinc hydroxyapatite powders in the rat calvarial defect model over a 6‐week period. Material and Methods In vitro physio‐chemical characterization involved X‐ray diffraction analysis, surface topology by scanning electron microscopy, and zinc release studies in physiological buffers. Bilateral rat calvarial...
