Evaluation of the mechanical properties and clinical efficacy of biphasic calcium phosphate-added collagen membrane in ridge preservation.

The addition of BCP and UV cross-linking improved the biocompatibility and the mechanical strength of the membranes. Within the limits of the clinical trial, the sites grafted using BCP in combination with UV cross-linked and BCP-added collagen membranes (test group) did not show any statistically significant difference in terms of dimensional change compared with the control group.
