Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) membrane is used as a barrier to prevent soft tissue ingrowth and to encourage bone regeneration through cellular exclusion. This study aims to assess antibacterial properties of recently developed three-layered poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) /lauric acid (LA) composite membrane towards Staphylococcus aureus. One of the outmost layers of three-layered membrane was incorporated with 1-3 wt% of LA. The composite membrane was developed using thermally induced phase separation/solvent leaching technique. SEM results shows formation of PLGA matrix with smaller pores by the addition of 1 wt% LA compared with pure PLGA membrane. Samples of 1.7 cm diameter disk containing 1, 2 and 3 wt% of lauric acid were tested and pure membrane without lauric acid was used as a control. Results showed that the zones of inhibition were 2.3 cm and 2.5 cm for the 2 wt% and 3 wt% LA-containing membranes, respectively. However, 1 wt% LA-containing membrane observed to have no inhibition at all, indicating that increasing concentration of LA has significant inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus. The 3 wt% LA composition will be used in the mechanically optimized membranes for degradation studies in future works.

Barrier membranes are employed in guided bone regeneration (GBR) to facilitate bone in-growth. A bioactive and biomimetic Zn-doped membrane with the ability to participate in bone healing and regeneration is necessary. The aim of the present study is to state the effect of doping the membranes for GBR with zinc compounds in the improvement of bone regeneration. A literature search was conducted using electronic databases, such as PubMed, MEDLINE, DIMDI, Embase, Scopus and Web of Science. A narrative exploratory review was undertaken, focusing on the antibacterial effects, physicochemical and biological properties of Zn-loaded membranes. Bioactivity, bone formation and cytotoxicity were analyzed. Microstructure and mechanical properties of these membranes were also determined. Zn-doped membranes have inhibited in vivo and in vitro bacterial colonization. Zn-alloy and Zn-doped membranes attained good biocompatibility and were found to be non-toxic to cells. The Zn-doped matrices showed feasible mechanical properties, such as flexibility, strength, complex modulus and tan delta. Zn incorporation in polymeric membranes provided the highest regenerative efficiency for bone healing in experimental animals, potentiating osteogenesis, angiogenesis, biological activity and a balanced remodeling. Zn-loaded membranes doped with SiO2 nanoparticles have performed as bioactive modulators provoking an M2 macrophage increase and are a potential biomaterial for promoting bone repair. Zn-doped membranes have promoted pro-healing phenotypes.

This study’s aim was to evaluate the biocompatibility and bioabsorption of a new membrane for guided bone regeneration (polylactic-co-glycolic acid associated with hydroxyapatite and β-tricalcium phosphate) with three thicknesses (200, 500, and 700 µm) implanted in mice subcutaneously. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and the quantification of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen were used to characterize the physico-chemical properties. One hundred Balb-C mice were divided into 5 experimental groups: Group 1—Sham (without implantation); Group 2—200 μm; Group 3—500 μm; Group 4—700 μm; and Group 5—Pratix®. Each group was subdivided into four experimental periods (7, 30, 60 and 90 days). Samples were collected and processed for histological and histomorphometrical evaluation. The membranes showed no moderate or severe tissue reactions during the experimental periods studied. The 500-μm membrane showed no tissue reaction during any experimental period. The 200-μm membrane began to exhibit fragmentation after 30 days, while the 500-μm and 700-µm membranes began fragmentation at 90 days. All membranes studied were biocompatible and the 500 µm membrane showed the best results for absorption and tissue reaction, indicating its potential for clinical guided bone regeneration.
