Abstract
Introduction
This study evaluated the efficacy of a resorbable l-lactide-ε-caprolactone copolymer (PLCL) membrane in promoting epithelial healing and preserving alveolar bone morphology using the open healing approach (OHA), compared to conventional membranes.
Methods
Extraction sockets in beagle dogs were filled with bone substitute material and covered with different membranes. Healing was assessed via histological analysis and micro-CT imaging.
Results
The PLCL membrane reduced bone resorption and preserved alveolar bone morphology better than conventional membranes. Histological analysis showed excellent epithelial healing and notable bone formation.
Conclusions
The PLCL membrane effectively prevents infection, supports epithelial healing, and preserves alveolar bone morphology in OHA procedures.
