In modern dentistry, there is the extensive application of collagen. Collagen plugs are used to control dental bleeding, oral wounds are treated with restorable collagen, and the tooth extraction sites use collagen for closing the sockets with bone grafting. Similarly, collagen-based membranes are also widely used for periodontal treatment, since from various studies, it has been established that collagen membranes can induce jawbone regeneration.  Bovine collagen membranes are frequently in dentistry use as it’s an effective and cheaper option to prevent epithelial migration and promote regenerative cells to recover the defective areas. Let’s get to know how this collagen helps with jawbone regeneration.  How bovine collagen membrane helps with GTR? The collagen membranes used for GTR treatment can be derived from various animal sources such as bovine, porcine, or equine; those are obtained from tendons or dermis. The collagen membranes are produced by demineralization or pul...

In case a patient is suffering from teeth loss, the dentist would recommend them to get a bone graft. And this bone grafting is essential if that patient would like to install dental implants, so the dental roots would be able to stimulate the jawbones in order to chew or bite the food. If the grafting is not done, the jaw will shrink without getting that stimulus.  There are many source materials used when getting a bone grafting operation for dental implants, which can replenish the jawbone. The dentist can use the patient’s own bone, a bone from another human’s cadaver; bovine bone retrieved from cow bone or uses other synthetic options for bone materials. Bovine bone material is a great option for dental implant bone grafts, which are harvested from a deceased cow. Let’s get to know more about the xenograft process.  How is xenograft done for dental implants? The use of bovine bone material in the bone grafting process is called a xenograft. In this process, the bone is a...
