  • Title: Guided bone regeneration in the treatment of segmental diaphyseal defects: a comparison between resorbable and non-resorbable membranes.
    Author: Nasser NJ, Friedman A, Friedman M, Moor E, Mosheiff R.
    Journal: Injury; 2005 Dec; 36(12):1460-6. PubMed ID: 16243336.
    Abstract:
    This study compares non-absorbable, ethyl cellulose (EC) membranes and absorbable, chitosan (CH) membranes in a rabbit model. Bone regeneration, evaluated by radiological and pathological parameters, was seen in both groups. In the EC group the process was faster but was followed by a sharp decrease, whereas in the CH group it was slower and continuous.
