10 Years Clinical Application of cerabone® - Why, When and How?
During the webinar a series of documented clinical cases, practical tips and tricks in the clinical use of cerabone®, Jason® fleece and Jason® membrane will be presented.
Today’s “dental world” turns around implants; teeth are preserved, bridges are not anymore the treatment of choice, edentulous patients wish fixed rehabilitations. In such environment Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) became a standard procedure in our dental offices. Principles of GBR are well known for many years, but still there are a lot of discussions and research in this field. Why, when and how to use specific materials and techniques became a crucial question for clinicians; always with the aim to obtain clinically successful and predictable results.
This webinar is dedicated to celebrate 10 years of clinical use of cerabone®. After many years of application in my private practice, it is the intention of this webinar to share my clinical experience and findings using cerabone®.
cerabone® is a xenograft, meaning that it is derived from animal tissue, in this case from bovine bone. This is the most universal bone substitute material. It is indicated in situations like socket preservation, ridge repair, immediate implant placement, sinus lift, horizontal GBR and combination of those. It is not indicated alone in vertical GBR. In those situations cerabone® should be mixed with autologous bone or others suitable materials or tissues to enhance the potential for regeneration.
The main characteristic of cerabone® is its purity. This is pure bovine HA obtained by heat-treatment above 1.200°C, biocompatible and safe for use. Crystalline sensation under the instrument is observed, it can be mixed with blood, saline, PRF, autologous bone, etc. During the healing phase it is inert and stabile. It could be combined very well with collagen products, such as Jason® membrane and Jason® fleece. Volume stability is one of the reasons to use cerabone® in the aesthetic zone. This is the main advantage compared with other materials like synthetic or human bone. The volume maintaining effect is permanent and cerabone® particles remain in situ non-resorbed.
