What Should You Know About Collaplug?

  Collagen plug-in is otherwise known as Collaplug. It is generally used in dental implant surgeries for preserving alveolar ridge dimensions in immediate extraction sites. The present-day Collaplug application involves flapless ridge preservation procedures that use specifically heat-treated collagen plugs for occlusion of the extraction socket. What is Collaplug made off? Collaplug consists of collagen-based agents, which are present in hemostatic collagen products. These products are soft, pliable, non-friable, coherent, and sponge-like structures. They are usually fabricated from bovine collagen. The Collaplug is derived from bovine deep flexor tendons as it has a rod-shaped form, which is used in the extraction sites. This material is an absorbable wound dressing since it has a coherent sponge structure. With its application, the dressing of the wounds can be easily controlled as it controls bleeding and stabilizes blood clots. How is the Collaplug dental dressing applied? During

What Are Bovine Bones And Their Applications?

Bone grafting is an essential procedure to carry out dental implant surgery for tooth loss treatments or a person with periodontal disease. Bovine bone  grafting is one of the most effective options for choosing a bone grafting material. Bovine bone is also known as xenographic materials. This bone material forms a scaffold; the new bone tissues can grow without any hindrance. What are the materials used in the production of bovine bone? The particles of deproteinized bovine bone  are obtained from the extracted bone through a multistage purification process. The specimens for the bone must have a porosity rate of 75-80%  and are interconnected pores. This material is a substitute for xenograft bone, which is processed from the non-vital bone at a high temperature. This results in creating a safe material appropriate for human application. The bovine bone grafting materials are sterilized and processed to interpret the natural human bone structures, which is ideal for any kind of denta
