5 Key Reasons Dentists Choose OsteoGen® Plugs
Here are the primary advantages that make OsteoGen® Plugs the preferred choice for a seamless tooth extraction and bone graft procedure:
True One-Step Simplicity
The most significant advantage is the ease of use. The plug, composed of absorbable Type 1 Achilles tendon collagen and non-sintered resorbable calcium apatite granules, is simply moistened and placed directly into the socket. There's no need to mix powders or chase granules, saving you valuable chair time and making the entire dental graft process far more efficient.
Excellent Volume Maintenance
The unique composition of the OsteoGen® Plugs promotes predictable bone grafting and allows you to achieve outstanding dimensional stability. The plug acts as a scaffold, providing the necessary support to prevent the collapse of the socket walls, which is essential for successful future placement of a bone graft for tooth implant.
Superior Handling and Adaptation
The cohesive yet pliable nature of the collagen matrix makes the plug easy to handle and allows it to adapt perfectly to the socket's contours. This ensures intimate contact with the socket walls and the surrounding bone, which is vital for optimal integration and bone regeneration.
Using a plug streamlines the surgery and often eliminates the need for primary closure over the graft site. This means less post-operative swelling and discomfort for your patient, leading to a faster and smoother recovery. Providing this level of care enhances their overall perception of their dental health treatment.
A Cost-Effective Solution
By consolidating the procedure into a single step and reducing the materials required (no separate membrane, mixing tools, or excessive suturing), OsteoGen® Plugs offer an economically sound approach to high-quality socket preservation, without compromising the long-term success of the future implant.
