Bone Regeneration for Periodontal Health

Periodontal disease is a major cause of tooth loss, affecting millions of people worldwide. As the disease progresses, it leads to the resorption of the alveolar bone—the bone that supports the teeth—compromising tooth stability and, in severe cases, resulting in tooth loss. Regenerating bone around periodontally involved teeth is crucial to maintaining their stability and longevity.

Impact of Periodontal Disease on Alveolar Bone:

• Bone Resorption: As periodontal disease advances, it leads to the resorption of the alveolar bone, weakening the foundation that holds teeth in place.
• Tooth Instability: The loss of bone structure around teeth can result in mobility and discomfort, making the affected teeth more prone to loss if left untreated.
• Severe Cases: In the worst cases, bone loss around teeth is so significant that extraction is the only viable solution.

This is where bone regeneration becomes critical in saving periodontally involved teeth, preventing further bone loss, and stabilizing teeth for long-term preservation.

Allograft: A Solution for Periodontal Regeneration

Allograft Material promotes predictable bone regeneration in periodontal procedures. By encouraging the formation of new bone tissue around periodontally compromised teeth, an allograft can help restore stability and extend the lifespan of natural teeth.

In the evolving field of bone grafting, alloOss® allograft stands out as a versatile, reliable, and effective solution for enhancing bone regeneration. It is available in several forms and formulations. Included in the alloOss Family is alloOss Putty. This blog delves into the characteristics and benefits of alloOss Putty, focusing on its properties, ease of handling, and role in promoting bone regeneration, particularly in the context of periodontal health.

Unique Properties of alloOss Putty:

alloOss Putty is a 100% human allograft containing mineralized cancellous and cortical chips and demineralized cortical fibers. It is terminally sterilized bone allograft with osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties. It may be used with autologous bone, xenograft, allograft or synthetic bone graft or may be used alone as an individual bone allograft

Key Benefits of alloOss Putty

• Osteoconductivity: The putty provides a scaffold that supports the growth of new bone along its surface. This allows the body’s natural healing processes to create new bone, effectively filling periodontal defects and augmenting bone volume.
• Moldable and Customizable: Its moldable consistency ensures it fits the contours of the surgical site perfectly, reducing the risk of displacement and optimizing the regeneration process.
• Biocompatibility: Being a 100% human allograft, alloOss Putty integrates well with the body, supporting the healing process. The material is terminally sterilized to prevent any possible contamination, ensuring safety and reliability.
• Applications in Periodontal Health alloOss Putty is a valuable tool in regenerating bone around teeth affected by periodontal disease.

Key applications include:

• Periodontal Defect Repair: Fills bone defects caused by periodontal disease, promoting new bone formation and tooth stability.
• Tooth Retention: Helps regenerate bone around periodontally involved teeth, reducing the risk of tooth loss.
• Sinus Elevation and Ridge Augmentation: Supports other procedures like sinus lifts and ridge augmentation by providing a reliable scaffold for bone regeneration.

Why Choose alloOss Putty?

alloOss Putty not only supports bone regeneration but also plays a crucial role in stabilizing teeth with compromised bone support. By addressing bone loss at its source, it contributes to the long-term success of periodontal treatments.

Periodontal disease can severely impact the health of teeth, leading to bone loss and instability. However, with the help of alloOss putty, dental professionals have a powerful tool to regenerate bone around periodontally compromised teeth and stabilize them for long-term preservation. The combination of osteoconductive properties, moldability, and biocompatibility makes alloOss Putty a trusted solution for promoting bone regeneration in periodontal procedures.
