Xenograft bone substitute OSTEOXENON®

for dental sugeryrigidgranules

Osteoxenon OSTEOXENON® is reworked and reabsorbed through the action of osteoclasts. This happens with entirely physiologic kinetics: as well as the patient’s bone it is fully remodeled within 8-12 months, as it happens for OSTEOXENON®: after this period it is completely replaced by the patient's bone. This is possible because OX®, unlike other materials, is recognized as the optimum substrate by osteoclasts that reabsorb it physiologically; only in this case, in fact, the regenerative process may end with the complete replacement of the graft. If the material is remodeled and is reabsorbed physiologically there can be no loss of volume. If the material is reabsorbed too quickly (e.g. calcium phosphate) or too slowly (e.g. synthetic hydroxyapatites) the volume of new endogenous bone is not equal to the grafted volume. OSTEOXENON®, however, by remodeling itself through osteoclastic activity, it keeps the grafted volume.
