absorbable oral barrier membrane, non-absorbable oral repair membrane, dental implant, guided bone regenerationAbstract
Objective: This study aims to systematically evaluate the effects of different oral barrier membranes on bone regeneration, focusing on their clinical efficacy and safety during dental implant procedures.
Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, and CBM databases for case-control and cohort studies published between January 2002 and March 2025. Two independent researchers screened and extracted data, and statistical analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3. The study was registered in PROSPERO (CRD492390).
Results: A total of 11 clinical controlled and cohort studies with 1,003 patients were included. The absorbable membrane group demonstrated a significantly higher success rate (p < 0.05), greater bone graft thickness (p < 0.05), and fewer adverse reactions (p < 0.05). Meta-analysis showed no significant difference in osseointegration, total mineralised tissue, and non-mineralised tissue (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: Absorbable oral barrier membranes exhibit superior safety and efficacy profiles, making them a preferred choice for guided bone regeneration. However, further studies with higher methodological quality and longer follow-up durations are required.
