- A synthetic mineral-collagen composite bone graft material, this putty becomes moldable upon hydration, allowing for superior contouring to the surgical site
Uses
- Moderate Socket Preservation:
- Filling larger molar extraction sites to prevent ridge collapse
- Alveolar Ridge Augmentation:
- Contouring and building up the ridge for dental implants
- Maxillary Sinus Elevation:
- Filling the sub-antral space during sinus lift procedures
- Multi-Surface Periodontal Defects:
- Treating complex bone loss around natural teeth
- Large Osseous Voids:
- Filling cavities left by the removal of mid-sized cysts or periapical lesions
Features
- 1.0cc (11.0mm x 11.0mm) Unit:
- Ideally sized for most standard surgical bone voids
- Mineral-Collagen Composite:
- Combines synthetic carbonate apatite with Type I bovine collagen for a scaffold that mimics human bone
- Moldable Handling:
- Becomes a cohesive, flexible putty upon hydration with sterile saline or patient blood
- Osteoconductive Matrix:
- The porous structure allows for early vascularization and cellular attachment
- Radiopaque:
- Allows for clear visualization of the graft placement on post-operative X-rays
Benefits
- Stays in Place:
- Unlike loose granules, the putty consistency prevents material migration once packed into the defect
- Contourability:
- Can be easily shaped to match the anatomical curvature of the ridge or socket
- Balanced Turnover:
- Designed to resorb at a rate that matches the patient's natural bone formation
- Biocompatible & Safe:
- Utilizes synthetic mineral to eliminate concerns regarding human-derived bone tissue (allografts)
- High Porosity:
- The interconnected pores facilitate the natural remodeling process into mature host bone
