Product Description
Osteoallograft® Periomix® is natural, real bone allograft designed specifically for veterinary dentistry. It consists of osteoinductive Demineralized Bone Matrix (DBM) and osteoconductive cancellous bone chips. Using bone allograft in periodontics allows you to restore periodontium to save teeth instead of extracting them. It also allows you to effectively restore bone in extraction sites to support good oral and systemic health and to prevent fracture of the mandible. And because it not only provides osteoconductive scaffold but also osteoinductive growth factors (BMPs), you will achieve faster and stronger bone healing compared with using bone substitutes.1-5
The demineralization of allograft allows for immediate access to the growth factors (BMPs) inherent in allograft bone when it is placed into the surgery site. This results in an immediate beginning of the healing process and helps to make allograft as effective as autograft.
Osteoallograft® Periomix® is professional-grade allograft: |
| • |
Processed aseptically meeting USP guidelines for sterility |
| • |
Acellular and processed by methods that have been shown to reduce immunogenicity making immune reactions not a significant concern and eliminating the need for any type of patient matching |
| • |
Our production practices are GMP and Good Tissue Practices compliant and modeled after human tissue banking standards |
| • |
Our stringent Quality Assurance Program provides confidence and consistency in our products |
Indications
| Use Osteoallograft® Periomix® for: |
| • |
Tooth extractions |
| • |
Furcation defects |
| • |
Horizontal and vertical bone loss |
| • |
Fracture of the mandible |
| • |
Any other void filling or bone augmentation procedure that requires grafting |
Veterinarian and Patient Benefits
After Extractions:
Applying bone allograft after tooth extractions quickly restores bone in extractions sites.1,6 And due to its osteoinductive growth factors, natural allograft restores bone faster and stronger than bone substitutes.1-5 To see a Comparison Chart with Bioactive Glass, click here.
| Why restore bone in extraction sites: |
| • |
Unfilled extraction sites can harbor bacteria and enable progression of periodontal disease, which in turn can cause further bone and tooth loss and can have systemic effects |
| • |
Leaving deep extraction sites unfilled can result in weakened jaw bone or a pathologic fracture |
For Tooth Preservation:
Applying bone allograft around exposed roots rapidly restores bone lost due to periodontal disease and results in reconstruction of the attachment apparatus thus preserving teeth. 1,2,6
| Why restore the attachment apparatus: |
| • |
Allows you to preserve teeth rather than extracting them. Missing teeth result in a lack of stimulation of the underlying bone structure, which can result in bone loss. |
| • |
If exposed roots are left untreated, periodontal disease and bone loss will continue |
| • |
Bone loss can result in abscess formation, weakened jaw bone, or a pathologic fracture |
| • |
Periodontal disease has systemic effects |
| • |
Exposed roots are likely to be painful |
