Biocompatibility Analyses of HF-Passivated Magnesium Screws for Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR)
<b>Background:</b> Magnesium (Mg) is one of the most promising materials for human use in surgery due to material characteristics such as its elastic modulus as well as its resorbable and regenerative properties. In this study, HF-coated and uncoated novel bioresorbable magnesium fixatio...
