摘要

Background

This study evaluates and compares the mechanical behavior of two collagen membranes in an in vitro model simulating membrane-stabilized horizontal guided bone regeneration (GBR).

Materials and methods

Megreen® (bovine pericardium, BP) and Bio-Gide® (porcine dermis, PD) were tested under wet conditions. Two models were developed: (1) a balloon dilation test to assess the membrane’s capability to accommodate bone graft material and (2) a bone graft compression model to evaluate tear resistance during graft compaction.

Results

In the tensile testing, BP demonstrated a significantly superior modulus of elasticity (146.71 ± 45.08 vs. 6.08 ± 2.66 MPa), maximum load tolerance (30.71 ± 8.42 vs. 4.49 ± 1.36 N), and tensile stress at maximum load (14.62 ± 4.01 vs. 1.61 ± 0.49 MPa; p < 0.001). Conversely, PD achieved high tensile extension at maximum load (6.32 ± 1.93 vs. 1.64 ± 0.32 mm) and percent tensile strain at maximum load (52.69 ± 16.03 vs. 13.63 ± 2.65%; p < 0.001). In the balloon dilation test, PD presented a slightly greater expansion diameter (4.43 ± 0.17 vs. 4.34 ± 0.05 mm; p = 0.047). In the compression model, BP significantly outperformed PD in maximum load (40.86 ± 4.54 vs. 7.90 (7.72–10.92) N) and displacement at maximum load (5.61 ± 0.60 vs. 3.65 ± 0.82 mm; p < 0.001).

Conclusions

BP exhibited higher tensile strength and compression resistance, whereas PD showed greater deformability. These findings indicate distinct mechanical differences between the two collagen membranes under the tested conditions and may provide a mechanical basis for membrane selection in membrane-stabilized horizontal GBR.
