Recent Advances in the Development of Magnesium-Based Alloy Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) Membrane

In dental implantology, the guided bone regeneration (GBR) membrane plays an active role in increasing alveolar volume. However, there are some drawbacks to current commercial membranes, such as non-degradability for non-absorbable membranes and low mechanical strength absorbable membranes. Recently, magnesium (Mg) alloys have been proposed potential barrier candidates. As a result, purpose of this research is assess feasibility Mg GBR terms physicochemical properties biological performance. were identified materials due their adjustable degradation, adequate support, sound osteogenic property, good bacteriostatic activity, favorable wound-healing ability. Nonetheless, rapid degradation stress corrosion cracking (SCC)/corrosion fatigue (CF) major concerns use Mg-based which can be mitigated through alloying, heat treatment, thermomechanical deformation, other methods. Finally, prospects design manufacture future put forth.
