- A specialized bone graft material composed of anorganic hydroxyapatite granules derived from bovine bone, combined with 10% highly purified collagen, used in dental and oral surgery as an osteoconductive scaffold to fill extraction sockets, preserve the alveolar ridge, and support guided bone regeneration (GBR) procedures
Uses
- Socket Preservation:
- Fills extraction sockets to prevent ridge collapse and enhance preservation
- Periodontal Defects:
- Treats infrabony periodontal defects, typically in conjunction with Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) products
- Implant Surgery:
- Used in peri-implant defects and ridge augmentation to create a stable foundation for dental implants
Features
- Composition:
- Contains 90% natural bovine-derived anorganic hydroxyapatite granules and 10% highly purified Type I porcine collagen
- Structural Integrity:
- The bovine granules feature an interconnected network of micro- and macro-pores that mimic human bone structure
- Moldable Form:
- Unlike loose particulate granules, the 100 mg (IOC100) block is pliable, moldable, and can be trimmed to perfectly fit the specific geometry of a defect site
- Resorption:
- The material gradually resorbs and is replaced by natural bone during the healing process
- Biocompatibility:
- Highly purified and designed for excellent cell attachment
Benefits
- Exceptional Handling:
- The collagen acts as a binding agent, making the granules easy to apply and keeping the graft material contained within the defect, reducing migration
- Enhanced Bone Regeneration:
- Provides an osteoconductive environment that supports the ingrowth of new blood vessels and bone-forming cells
- Stabilization:
- Maintains the structure of the socket or defect to prevent ridge collapse after tooth extraction
- Versatility:
- Can be used alone, with allografts, or with autologous bone
- Safe and Reliable:
- Made from a multi-step purification process to ensure safety and long-term stability
