Comparative Evaluation of Natural vs. Synthetic Membranes in GTR: In Vitro Cell Proliferation Study
Keywords:
Guided tissue regeneration, collagen membranes, synthetic membranes, fibroblasts, in vitro proliferationAbstract
Background: Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) membranes are integral in periodontal and oral regenerative therapies. Natural membranes (collagen-based) and synthetic membranes (polylactic/polyglycolic acid) are widely used, but their comparative impact on cellular proliferation remains unclear.
