Abstract excerpt
Collagen has been widely used in guided bone regeneration, and the implantation of collagen membranes will elicit the foreign body reaction (FBR). The imbalance of FBR often leads to failure of dental implants. Therefore, modulation of the FBR after implantation of collagen membranes becomes increasingly important. Macrophages, pivotal in FBR, have been distinguished into pro-inflammatory (M1) and...
