Evaluation of porous collagen membrane in guided tissue regeneration.
Porous collagen membrane was prepared with collagen protein, which was extracted from bovine tendon by enzyme digestion, by freeze-drying method. The animal, clinical experiments of the membrane used in artificial dental implant system were studied. In the animal experiments, pure titanium spiral implants, which were prepared according to Adell etc. method, were implanted in the mandibular dental alveus of adult hybrid dog and covered with collagen membrane. Then the animals were killed after 4, 18 weeks individually. In the clinical research, the implants (phi 3.3 mm) were used in 33 patients of different age groups. The implant was put on the buccal lateral deficiency of implantation cavity wall, and covered with collagen membrane on the buccal lateral, then observed after 3, 6 months individually. The results of animal experiments proved the collagen membrane could guide osseous tissue regeneration around the bone integral implant which was implanted in the fresh tooth extraction fossa, be helpful to repair the fissural bone deficiency produced when implanted the implant, increase the bone content around the implant significantly, and improve the structure of new bone to a certain extent. The results of clinical research proved that collagen membrane was used in the patients with density deficiency, irregularity of alveolar ridge, or artificial dental of shorter tooth extraction, could significantly improved the bone density of artificial implant's shoulder.
