- Demineralized cortical allograft particulate, that by removing the mineral content, the bone's natural growth factors (BMPs) are "unmasked," making this material osteoinductive—meaning it actively signals the body to create new bone
Uses
- Rapid Bone Induction:
- Used when the primary goal is to speed up the formation of new host bone
- Graft "Booster":
- Often mixed with mineralized bone to add biological activity to a structurally stable graft
- Periodontal Defects:
- Filling narrow intrabony pockets where quick soft tissue and bone attachment are needed
Features
- Demineralized Matrix:
- The calcium is removed to expose Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs), which trigger bone-forming cells
- Cortical Origin:
- Sourced from dense bone to ensure a high concentration of natural growth factors
- 250–1000µm Particle Size:
- A fine-to-medium grit that provides a high surface area for rapid cellular interaction
Benefits
- Bioactive Healing:
- Unlike mineralized bone which is just a "scaffold," DBM actively recruits bone cells to the site
- Fastest Turn-over:
- This material resorbs and replaces with host bone much quicker than mineralized cortical or cancellous options
- Excellent Handling:
- Once hydrated, it becomes slightly tacky, allowing it to be packed tightly into small defects without washing away
- Safe & Sterile:
- Processed in AATB-accredited facilities with a high safety profile and 100% biocompatibility
