Abstract
Research on guided bone regeneration (GBR) is still ongoing, with evidence mainly from preclinical studies. Various current barrier membranes should fulfill the main design criteria for GBR, such as biocompatibility, occlusivity, spaciousness, clinical manageability and the appropriate integration with the surrounding tissue. These GBR characteristics are required to provide the maximum membrane function and mechanical support to the tissue during bone formation. In this review, various commercially available, resorbable and non-resorbable membranes with different characteristics are discussed and summarized for their usefulness in preclinical studies. Membranes offer promising solutions in animal models; however, an ideal membrane has not been established yet for clinical applications. Every membrane type presents both advantages and disadvantages. Titanium mesh membranes offer superb mechanical properties for GBR treatment and its current efficacy in trials will be a focus in this review. A thorough understanding of the benefits and limitations inherent to various materials in specific clinical applications will be of great value and aid in the selection of an optimal membrane for GBR.
