Porous magnesium/PLGA composite scaffolds for enhanced bone regeneration following tooth extraction

[Display omitted] Sixty percent of implant-supported dental prostheses require bone grafting to enhance bone quantity and quality prior to implant placement. We have developed a metallic magnesium particle/PLGA composite scaffold to overcome the limitations of currently used dental bone grafting mat...
