Apatos Cortical 1 gr

Apatos is a biocompatible¹, osteoconductive² biomaterial of heterologous origin with characteristics similar to mineralized human bone³ ⁴; it can therefore be used as an alternative to autologous bone. The natural microporous consistency of Apatos facilitates the formation of new bone tissue in bone defect area⁵, accelerating the process. Apatos nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite is available in cortical and mixed granules.

Handling

Apatos must always be hydrated and thoroughly mixed with a few drops of sterile saline; it can also be mixed with patient’s blood. Finally it can be mixed if necessary with the drug selected for surgery; the mixture thus obtained should be positioned with a sterile spatula or syringe for biomaterials.

Clinical indications

Apatos is a universal filler, that can be used to treat peri-implant defects and two-wall defects⁶ ⁷. Because of its granulometry, Apatos cannot be used in narrow defects, but it fits well in big sockets, e.g. after molar extractions. Both types of sinus lift (with crestal or lateral access)⁴ ⁸ can be performed with Apatos as bone substitute, as well as surgeries for horizontal regenerations. Apatos Cortical is characterized by a very long resorption time, guaranteeing optimal preservation of the graft volume. When needed, Apatos grafts can be protected with OsteoBiol® Evolution membrane or stabilized with Cortical Lamina.

Indications:
Alveolar regeneration / Dehicences and fenestrations / Lateral access sinus lift
Oral surgery: granulomas, dentigerous cysts and split crests.
