cerabone® plus

cerabone® plus combines the established bovine bone grafting material cerabone® with the well-known properties of hyaluronic acid. Thanks to the pronounced liquid binding capacities of hyaluronate, cerabone® plus forms a sticky bone material upon hydration that provides unique application comfort by allowing both easy uptake and delivery to the site of application.

Indications

Implantology, Periodontology and Oral and CMF Surgery

• Horizontal and vertical augmentation
• Peri-implant defects
• Periodontal intrabony defects
• Socket and ridge preservation
• Sinus lift
• Furcation defects (class I and II)

Handling Tips

Hydration

If the product appears dry following hydration and no connected mass has formed, additional liquid can be added dropwise and mixed with the product until the desired texture is obtained. If it is not possible to measure the volume for hydration add liquid carefully dropwise.

Application

For optimal adaptation of cerabone® plus to the bone and stability at the augmentation area, excess liquid should be removed from the defect site prior to the application. Intra-operatively, cerabone® plus performs optimally when bleeding at the defect site can be controlled, as in the case of well visible defects, e.g. in lateral augmentation.

Mixing with autologous bone

When working with autologous bone, the bone chips should be added to cerabone® plus prior to hydration. The required amount of liquid may differ from the hydration protocol and should be determined by careful dropwise addition of the liquid.

Fixation

Thorough fixation with a barrier membrane supports the stabilization of the bone grafting material at the application site. Moreover, in order to prevent ingrowth of soft tissue and to allow for undisturbed healing, the augmentation area should be covered with a barrier membrane according to the principles of GBR.

Properties + Advantages

Osteoconductivity and volume stability of cerabone®plus proven properties of hyaluronate

• Sticky and malleable following hydration
• Efficient defect filling and time-saving application
• Easy defect contouring
• Minimized displacement of single granules during application

Unique Combination

cerabone® plus is the only available bovine bone substitute material containing hyaluronate. It is a combination of cerabone® granules (available with small or large granules) and sodium hyaluronate, which is a water-soluble form of hyaluronic acid. The cerabone® granules are delivered with hyaluronate in a blister for convenient hydration.
