12x20x3mm Small OsteoGen® Resorbable Collagen Bone Graft Strip – 2 Pack

Particulate migration is a challenge during bone grafting procedures, and it’s one that many clinicians have struggled with over the years. While particulates are still an option for some procedures, there are times when restoration along the ridge can benefit from the use of a bone grafting strip instead. 12x20x3mm Small OsteoGen® Resorbable Collagen Bone Graft Strip is an alternative to particulate. It contains bone grafting materials in an easy-handling strip that can be used for immediate implant placement and regenerative procedures.

12x20x3mm Small OsteoGen® Resorbable Collagen Bone Graft Strip – 2 Pack Key Details

Suited to regenerative procedures where particulates would otherwise be used, 12x20x3mm Small OsteoGen® Resorbable Collagen Bone Graft Strip contains natural collagen and grafting crystals to support natural regeneration. Each strip aids the process by creating a scaffolding structure and introducing growth factors.

• Material: Calcium Apatite crystals infused in Type 1 bovine collagen
• Texture: Porous
• Dimensions: 12x20mm
• Thickness: 3mm
• Resorbable in 2-6 months
• The use of a membrane is not essential.
• Packaging: 2/Box

Dental Implant Technologies is an authorized supplier of 12x20x3mm Small OsteoGen® Resorbable Collagen Bone Graft Strip.

Should OsteoGen® Strips Be Used with Resorbable Collagen Membranes?

OsteoGen® Strips are particulate and collagen products that gradually resorb during the process of tissue regeneration. Resorbable collagen membrane can be used at the discretion of the clinician, depending on how much coverage is achieved.

When OsteoGen® Strips are used for immediate implant placement, there should be sufficient flap to achieve primary closure and a resorbable collagen membrane will be unnecessary. If OsteoGen® Strips are used for defect repair, such as restoration of the buccal plate, a resorbable collagen membrane may be necessary to provide extra protection and stability for OsteoGen® strips but is generally unnecessary.

Clinicians should evaluate each case based on the patient and the specific problem being addressed. OsteoGen® Strips have been used successfully with prepared resorbable collagen membranes and even autologous platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membranes prepared chairside.

When Should Clinicians Consider Using Bone Grafting Strips?

Bone grafting strips are alternatives to using preparable particulates. They contain mineralized collagen and can be used alone or even as protective layers over particulates. Whether used as alternatives or supplementary to particulates, the most popular case examples include:

• Sinus lifts (bone grafting strips are great alternatives to particulates).
• Immediate implant placement.
• Buccal restoration.
• Minor defects where a strip is more convenient than putty, plugs, or particulates.

OsteoGen® bone grafting strips are porous and allow for nutrient penetration.

Excellent Support for Osteoblast Mineralization

Osteoblast mineralization describes the process of how osteoblast cells synthesize bone. Osteoblasts can be thought of as the building blocks of bone tissue, and osteoblast mineralization is essential for rapid and predictable regeneration in dental cases.

12x20x3mm Small OsteoGen® Resorbable Collagen Bone Graft Strip supports osteoblast mineralization for new bone formation by protecting and nourishing the grafting site. OsteoGen® contains bone grafting crystals embedded into a collagen sheet that is easy to cut, hydrate, and place into the surgical site.

The sheet becomes pliable when hydrated with a sterile solution or autologous blood. It remains intact during placement making it easy to conform to the treatment site around bone or even an implant.

Osteoblast mineralization is more predictable and reliable when using a collagen strip that is impervious to washout and particulate loss.
