Background:

Magnesium (Mg) is a promising biomaterial for biomedical applications, particularly in bone fixation and regeneration.
Mg-based materials offer advantages over traditional implants like polymers and permanent metals, addressing issues like stress shielding and inflammation.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the current knowledge on Mg-based biomaterials, focusing on their biological effects and clinical potential.
To emphasize applications in oral and craniomaxillofacial bone regeneration.
To discuss limitations and future directions for Mg biomaterials.

Main Methods:

Literature review of current research on Mg-based biomaterials.
Analysis of clinical trial data and regulatory approvals.
Exploration of Mg's biological and immunomodulatory roles in bone regeneration.

Main Results:

Mg-based biomaterials exhibit biocompatibility, biodegradability, and suitable mechanical properties.
Mg demonstrates pro-osteogenic, anti-osteoclastic, and anti-inflammatory effects, enhancing bone regeneration.
Clinical applications in guided bone regeneration show potential, though regulatory hurdles exist.

Conclusions:

Mg-based biomaterials are viable alternatives for bone fixation and regeneration, especially in oral and maxillofacial surgery.
Further research into Mg's degradation and biological activity is needed to overcome clinical limitations.
Innovative Mg delivery systems could unlock the full potential of these biomaterials in regenerative therapies.
