Abstract
A membrane for alveolar bone regeneration to guide bone generation by adapting to a bone graft material, which fills a bone defect area, includes a central hole through which an implant is inserted into an alveolar bone, wherein the membrane includes: a coupling part to couple the membrane with the implant; a side bending part that is downwardly bent from the coupling part to have an overall curved shape with a gentle slope; and lateral covering parts that protrude from edges of the side bending part and are bent and curved toward an alveolar bone defect area, wherein the side bending part and the lateral covering parts are pre-formed in three-dimensions to fit a final shape of the alveolar bone that is to be regenerated.
