Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the characteristics of demineralized dentin material sponge (DDMS). An observational study was conducted on DDMS and BPCM. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) test was performed to determine the characterizations of the materials. Scanning electron microscope-electron dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) test was performed to observe the elements contained in the materials. The infrared spectrum of the DDMS and BPCM functional groups showed the same pattern in each variation, and no significant differences were found. According to SEM analysis, the cavities that make up the membrane were spotted on the surface. Besides, according to the SEM-EDX analysis, DDMS contained chlorine, carbon, and calcium, while BPCM contained carbon, oxygen, and sulfur. DDMS has the potential to be a biomaterial for bone tissue engineering in terms of the characteristics. DDMS had a structure that almost resembles BPCM as seen from the results of the FTIR graph between DDMS and BPCM. The morphological structure of the two materials in the SEM test appeared to have porosity with various sizes.

Summary
Head and facial bone defects occur when the bones in the cranial and facial areas lose their tissues.[1]. The most common observation of insufficient quantity of bone in dentistry is following tooth loss, where rapid resorption of alveolar bone occurs due to the absence of intraosseous stimulation that would typically occur via the periodontal ligament fibers. These defects can lead to reduced cranial bone function and anatomic changes.[2,3]. An in vivo test showed that the porous structure of BPCM allows cell migration and bone growth into the pericardial matrix. This procedure requires expensive technology and is costly since bioabsorbable and non-resorbable membrane products are not cheap. Alternatives for qualified and more affordable GBR collagen membranes are needed.[6]
