Comparison of Macro-and Micro-porosity of a Titanium Mesh for Guided Bone Regeneration: An<i>In Vivo</i>Experimental Study

Abstract

Microvasculature penetrates 50-μm diameter micropores and accelerates bone formation inside the cylinder, which was set on rat calvaria. The microporous titanium mesh can facilitate angiogenesis from both the dura mater and periosteal in vertical ridge augmentation. Our data showed superiority of microporous titanium vascular permeability and osteoconductivity, supporting bone growth.
