BoneCeramic™ Data Sheet More than a synthetic solution. Straumann® BoneCeramic™ is a biocompatible and homogenous alloplast designed to maintain volume while supporting gradual replacement by your patient’s own bone. A fully alloplastic biphasic calcium phosphate, it’s composed of hydroxylapatite, which prevents excessive resorption and preserves bone volume, and ß-tricalcium phosphate, which absorbs more quickly as it’s replaced by natural bone. EFFECTIVE REGENERATION MATERIAL • ngineered to support restoration and preservation E of bone volume • Gradually resorbs as it is replaced by new vital bone DEPENDABLE PERFORMANCE • xcellent handling characteristics E FLEXIBILITY TO MEET CLINICAL NEEDS • an be used alone or in combination with C autogenous bone • Best suited for peri-implant dehiscence defects, fenestration defects, sinus lifts, extraction sockets, and horizontal augmentations SUPPORTS ONGOING BONE REGENERATION • 8.35 % average newly formed mineralized bone 2 versus 22.27 % with bovine bone mineral, 6 to 8 months post augmentation (p = 0.6024)1 • Trend of increase in mineral bone formation over healing time1 Image by Prof. Dr. S.J.
