The OsteoGen® Plug by Impladent® is a dental bone grafting plug that combines non-ceramic OsteoGen® bioactive resorbable calcium apatite crystals with a Type I bovine achilles tendon collagen matrix. The bone graft crystals are contained within the collagen matrix, allowing for simple and effective placement without a membrane or the need to mix and pack the graft. The bioactive calcium phosphate crystals create a structure that mimics the organic and inorganic characteristics of actual bone. This resorbable quality allows the structure to be replaced by host bone tissue within a few months. The collagen matrix also absorbs and delivers blood to the graft during resorption, a crucial factor for the successful formation of new bone tissue, and provides a scaffold for keratinized tissue to develop over the grafted site. The OsteoGen® bone grafting plug is radiolucent when placed but will become radiopaque within 3–5 months (when it has been replaced with host bone tissue). Implant placement can then be achieved.
- Non-ceramic bioactive calcium apatite crystals within a Type I bovine achilles tendon collagen matrix
- Easy placement: no membrane or particulate mixing/packing required
- Resorbable: replaced by host bone tissue in 3–5 months
- Radiolucent upon placement
- Radiopaque within 3–5 months
- The OsteoGen® crystals are a calcium phosphate-based bone graft that is NOT a β-TCP and NOT a dense ceramic HA, nor is it a biphasic mixture of the two. OsteoGen® has a unique Ca:P ratio that mimics the composition of human bone.
