What Experts Say
“I routinely use the Ridge Preservation technique after tooth removal. Following delicate extraction, the alveolus is filled with Geistlich Bio-Oss® Collagen. A Geistlich Bio-Gide® membrane is gently inserted into the sulcus without elevating a flap and secured in place with a cross-mattress suture. No connective tissue harvesting is needed to close the socket. After 3 to 4 weeks, a complete healing of the soft tissue can be observed over the previously exposed membrane, notably with creation of keratinized tissue and protection of the graft. After 4 months, the implant surgery can be successfully completed in a well preserved bone ridge.”
“Geistlich Bio-Oss® Collagen is a user friendly and reliable biomaterial. It can promote a proper ridge profile for the future restoration. I use Geistlich Bio-Gide® combined with Geistlich Bio-Oss® Collagen or Geistlich Bio-Oss® granules in extraction sockets which exhibit loss of one or two walls. Additionally, this combination works well in small defects such as periodontal or periimplant lesions. I trust Geistlich biomaterials because they are supported by scientific evidence and years of successful clinical experience.”
“For buccal, peri-implant defects in the aesthetic zone, Geistlich Combi-Kit Collagen provides the material needed to build volume and to mimic natural root prominence. The Geistlich Bio-Oss® Collagen is cut L-shaped and adapted to the defect. Through this, the peri-implant soft-tissue is supported and yields an optimally constructed contour. The 10% share of collagen may contribute to stabilization of the blood clot and holds the Geistlich Bio-Oss® particles together.”
“I use Geistlich Biomaterials since several years but have only recently discovered Geistlich Bio-Oss® Collagen. It has better handling properties compared to Geistlich Bio-Oss® granules, is easier to shape and quicker to apply. In my opinion, Geistlich Combi-Kit Collagen is the ideal choice for extraction socket management and also for the treatment of narrow, deep defects.”
