Dental implants can be used in conjunction with the Bio-Oss® bone and gum tissue preservation technique. Depending upon the condition of the remaining extraction socket, an implant may be placed immediately into the extraction socket following tooth removal or may be place three or four months later. Bio-Oss® graft material helps support bone growth needed to stabilize the dental implant, while at the same time helping to preserve the surrounding bone and gum tissue. Bio-Oss® is one of the grafting products that is sometimes used in conjuction with dental implant placement at Pi Dental Center.
What is Bio-Oss?
Bio-Oss is a safe, effective bone graft material. Under othe electron microscope, Bio-Oss looks very similar to human bone and is highly successful in helping new bone to form. Bio-Oss acts as a framework onto which bone forming cells and blood vessels travel along the Bio-Oss framework, healthy new bone is formed and the defect is repaired. It is prepared from specially processed bovine sources. Every batch of Bio-Oss goes through highly controlled processing and sterilization procedures which remove all impurities. At the end of these procedure, every batch of Bio-Oss must pass rigorous sterility and purity tests, assuring total safety of the materials.
Bio-Oss is produced by Osteohealth Co
