SynMax

Product Information

SynMax is a fully synthetic, safe and biocompatible material that, when brought into an osseous environment, serves as an osteoconductive scaffold to support the ingrowth and fusion of adjacent, vital bone. It's composed of 60 % hydroxyapatite and 40 % betatricalcium phosphate. After implantation the material undergoes a natural remodeling and is gradually resorbed and replaced by new bone.

Due to its material properties, which enable excellent binding and release kinetics of signaling molecules and growth factors, for example, SynMax is also extremely well suited for use in combination with platelet concentrates. To accelerate regeneration, platelet-rich fibrin (e.g. L-PRF, IntraSpin®) is added, which is obtained by centrifugation from the patient's own peripheral blood. After adding, fibrin coagulates and forms a moldable substance which is easier to apply during the intraoperative filling of defects.

Key Features

• Biphasic calcium phosphate
• 100 % synthetic, no risk of disease transmission, high safety
• Controlled resorption due to biphasic composition
• Very rough surface and high porosity supports integration and bone formation

Material Properties

SynMax acts as a temporary, osteoconductive scaffold and is gradually replaced by new bone substance as part of the natural bone remodeling process.

SEM analyses of SynMax demonstrate a very rough surface and a matrix of interconnected pores with a very high porosity of approx. 80 %. The interconnected pores of SynMax provide an ideal network of cavities for the ingrowth and migration of cells and blood vessels, thus promoting the formation of new vital bone.

Histological Structure

60 % hydroxyapatite (HA) and 40 % beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP)
Every particle is composed of HA and β-TCP

Indications and Applications

• Sinus lift
• Ridge augmentation
• Intraosseous defects
• Extraction sockets
• Osseous defects
• Furcation defects

The aim of any tissue regeneration technique, and bone grafting in particular, is to achieve formation of living and reactive tissue able to undergo a sustained state of remodeling to maintain the mechanical and the biologic function in the long term. If the native bone volume is insufficient for the insertion of implants, measures to augment the alveolar bone are often necessary. Augmentation can, for example, be performed after bone loss, periodontal disease, tooth extraction or trauma - depending on the indication - before or at the same time as implant placement.
