InterOss Collagen Block
is anorganic hydroxyapatite-collagen composite for use in periodontal, oral, and maxillofacial surgery. It is a combination of 90% bovine granules and 10% collagen fibers molded into a block form (also available as a plug).
InterOss® granules exhibit a natural mineralized bone structure, similar to human bone, and provides an osteoconductive environment for the ingrowth of the adjacent viable bone. Its excellent porosity allows the grafting material to act as a conduit for the exchange of body fluids and growth factors while allowing cells to guide bone formation. Highly purified collagen facilitates the adaptation of these granules to the defect site, bringing about exceptional handling and ease of use.
Indications for Use
InterOss® Collagen is indicated for the filling of extraction sockets to enhance the preservation of the alveolar ridge. The product is recommended for:
Filling of extraction sockets to enhance preservation of the alveolar ridge
Filling of periodontal defects in extraction sockets in conjunction with products intended for guided tissue regeneration (GTR) and guided bone regeneration (GBR)
Studies
InterOss® Collagen has 10% of collagen since collagen plays an important element of extracellular matrix which regulates cell functions. It is pliable and moldable, making it easy to handle. InterOss® Collagen is validated and documented in case of studies through clinicians involving procedures such as horizontal/vertical augmentation.
