- A high-performance "hybrid" graft, combining two different processing methods—mineralized and demineralized—into a single product to provide both immediate stability and faster biological induction
Uses
- Immediate Implant Loading:
- Provides the rigid support needed for an implant to stay stable right away
- Ridge Reconstruction:
- Rebuilds bone volume where both height and width have been lost
- Complex Sockets:
- Ideal for multi-rooted molar extractions where 0.5cc provides ample coverage
- Aesthetic Zone Augmentation:
- Used in the front of the mouth to ensure the bone doesn't shrink back, preserving the gum line
Features
- Combined Cortical Blend:
- Uses 100% cortical bone but processes half as FDBA (mineralized) and half as DFDBA (demineralized)
- Dual Action:
- The demineralized portion releases growth proteins (BMPs), while the mineralized portion provides the "scaffold"
- Standard Particle Size (250–1000µm):
- Ensures easy handling and a high surface area for cell attachment
Benefits
- The "Best of Both Worlds":
- You get the osteoinductive (bone-stimulating) power of DFDBA and the osteoconductive (space-maintaining) strength of FDBA
- Superior Volume Maintenance:
- Because it is 100% cortical, it resists collapsing under the pressure of the gums better than cancellous blends
- Faster Bone Initiation:
- The demineralized particles "kickstart" the healing process sooner than purely mineralized grafts
- Predictable Radiopacity:
- The mineralized half remains visible on X-rays, allowing the surgeon to track the graft's progress over time
