Vol. 12 – Number 46 – 2021 INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY COLUMN Page 32-43 The use of bovine pericardium collagen membrane in bone regeneration: characteristics and case report Fábio Shiniti Mizutani1 Danilo Lazzari Ciotti2 Danilo Maeda Reino3 Marcelo De Faveri4 Abstract The aim of this article was to describe the use of the bovine pericardium collagen membrane and to present its physical-chemical characteristics through laboratory tests, in addition to a case report proving its clinical performance. Called native collagen membranes from the animal pericardium, this product has ideal characteristics for promoting bone neoformation in grafting procedures for volumetric augmentation. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) tests showed the organization of collagen fibers, and tensile tests pointed an adequate resistance to the mechanisms of graft stabilization, through sutures, screws or pins. Within the limitations of this article, it was possible to conclude that the bovine pericardium collagen membrane has the appropriate characteristics for use in guided bone regeneration procedures, with efficient handling, stability, and predictability.
