Bioteck grafts enable successful treatment of bone defects of periodontal origin
Today we present the clinical case of a patient who, upon periodontal examination, showed a pocket depth of 10 mm at position 21. Subsequent endoral radiograph showed an endo-periodontal lesion.
Radiographic evaluation and positive vitality test for the element led to the decision to save the tooth element by a combined endodontic and surgical approach.
After cleaning the defect from granulation tissue, the endo-periodontal lesion was filled using collagen-preserved equine bone granules (Osteoxenon®) protected by equine pericardium membrane (Heart®).
Osteoxenon® bone granules, are produced by the Zymo-Teck® enzymatic process that preserves the collagen and mineral component in native form.
These properties allow the bone granules to be completely remodeled with the patient’s bone in physiological time.
Heart® pericardium membrane has excellent mechanical strength properties that allow its fixation by suture or osteosynthesis media without risk of rupture. In addition, it can guarantee a bone graft protection time of 3-4 months.
Follow-up CBCT at 1 year showed lesion filling and bone ridge stability. Subsequent follow-up at 3 years…
