The clinical leaflet reports the resolution of a peri-implant defect with the ultimate generation bone paste Activabone Mouldable together with the HEART pericardium membrane. Activabone Mouldable bone paste exerts its osteoconductive role through mineralized bone granules with preserved bone collagen, while its content in DBM (demineralized bone matrix) increases its regenerative potential. The size and the irregular shape of the defect require the use of a membrane with medium-long protection time and that can be fixed without the risk of breaking, such as the HEART pericardium membrane. The combination of these two devices resulted in an optimal bone regeneration.

Today we focus on a recent paper (D’Amato et al.2020), where the authors compared the clinical performances of a single injection of the Bioteck bone paste Osteoplant Activagen Injectable enriched with bone marrow concentrate (BMC), with 3 injections of methylprednisolone acetate to fill bone cysts (in femur, humerus, tibia) in 53 pediatric patients. Thanks to its unique rheology, Osteoplant Activagen Injectable bone paste can be directly injected through a trocar needle without the need of open surgery. At 2 years from the surgery, the patients were asked to complete the questionnaire “Activities Scale for Kids” (ASK). The results show the superiority of the treatment with Osteoplant Activagen + BMC (83% of success) compared to methylprednisolone acetate (59% di success).
