Q

What options are there for resorbable membranes?

Degradation time

38
Q

How are Cross Linked Collagen membranes, cross linked? What effect does it have?

A

Usually w/ Glutaraldehyde but can be ribose cross linked (OSSIX)
Glutaraldehyde is released during the degradation process, delaying epithelial cell migration - leading to slower degradation - more time for selective cell re-population - also increased inflammatory/foreign body response though

39
Q

How long does it take for collagen membranes to resorb? Citation

A

3-4weeks (Paul et al. 1992)

Longer for cross-linked

40
Q

What are the pros and cons of cross-linked collagen membranes? Citation

A

Pros: Longer resorption time leading to longer time excluding epi/CT cell invasion

Cons: RR of 1.43 (95% CI: 0.85-2.39) (NSSD) between the cross linked vs non-cross linked, with a marginal tendency towards higher exposure in the cross-link membrane group (Garcia et al. 2017 systematic review)

Q

What is the degredation rate of Polymer membranes dependent on?

A

pH, presence of mechanical strains, enzymes, bacterial infection, COMPOSITION

45
Q

Which material resorbs slower for polymer membranes? (citation) how can it be modified?

Adding crosslinked D-Lactide or Glycolide allows faster degradation

46
Q

What membrane is PLA alone? How long do these take to resorb?

A

PLA alone does not appear to be available???

Poly-D,L-Lactide: 6-12mo
Poly-D,L-Lactide, Co-Glycolide: 5-6mo
Jiaolong Wang et al. 2016

47
Q

What is a CON of PLA or PLGA membranes?

Although PLA- and PLGA-based membranes are non-cytotoxic and biodegradable, the releases of oligomers and acid byproducts during degradation may trigger inflammation reactions and foreign body response in vivo (Zwahlen et al. 2009, COIR, RCT)
