| 摘要 |
The present invention provides a method for mineralizing commercially available guided bone regeneration membranes. The method comprises the steps of (a) providing a commercially available guided bone regeneration membrane, (b) applying a mineralizing solution, and (c) microwaving the membrane. The method may further comprise (d) rinsing the membrane in a solution such as distilled water and (e) drying the membrane. The mineralizing solution may be a solution capable of supplying or delivering a mineral such as calcium or zinc. The invention further provides guided bone regeneration membranes made by the methods described. The guided bone regeneration membrane comprises a mineral, such as, for instance calcium or zinc at a weight percent of at least 5%, at least 10%, at least 12%, at least 15%, at least 18%, at least 20% or at least 25% (weight percent) of the membrane. Further, the invention provides methods for enhancing bone regeneration and methods for inhibiting bacterial infection and inflammation.
