InterCollagen® Guide Resorbable Collagen Membrane InterCollagen® Guide is a porcine-derived resorbable collagen membrane intended for periodontal and/ or dental surgeries. When used in conjunction with a graft material for a guided bone regeneration procedure, the membrane acts as a barrier that restricts the entry of rapidly proliferating non-osteogenic cells within the bony defect while allowing the ingrowth of slow-growing bone-forming cells. This resorbable barrier gets remodeled and/or incorporated by the host tissue. InterCollagen® Guide’s dense fibrous architecture enhances mechanical...

Properties Placement InterCollagen® Guide has a bilayer structure which provides dual function. One side has a smooth texture which acts as a barrier to prevent soft tissue growth while the other side, rougher in texture with open pores, facilitates the ingrowth of bone forming cells, nerve, and blood vessels. Although not required, it is recommended to place the smooth side towards the gingiva and the rough side towards the bone for maximum results. Trim and place InterCollagen® Guide to overlap the defect by at least 2-3 mm to prevent lateral ingrowth of gingival connective tissue. InterCollagen®...

Ankylosed tooth extraction and socket preservation Dr. Yong Dae Kwon Kyung Hee University, School of Dentistry South Korea Maintaining the form of the socket postextraction was necessary as the #11 tooth had been traumatized and internal resorption was seen in the long-term follow-up. Two InterOss® Collagen blocks were inserted and an InterCollagen® Guide was applied to cover them. Although a chronic fistula was seen, a socket graft procedure can be performed as long as no acute inflammation nor suppuration were identified. The blocks were firm enough to maintain the socket form and were easy...

Vertical ridge augmentation through sinus floor elevation Dr. Yong Dae Kwon Kyung Hee University, School of Dentistry South Korea In order to reconstruct the missing teeth in the right posterior maxilla, a sinus lift surgery was planned via lateral window technique because of major loss of alveolar bone in the region. A lateral window sinus lift is a safe and predictable procedure, and InterOss® is a good bone substitute with good handling. To prevent the soft tissue ingrowth to the graft, the window in the lateral wall should be covered by an InterCollagen® Guide. Pre-operative X-ray and CBCT...

Secondary guided bone regeneration at previously grafted site Dr. Yong Dae Kwon Kyung Hee University, School of Dentistry South Korea Local inflammation and compromised healing may cause focal loss of bone graft. To repair the loss, a secondary focal bone grafting can be done. To maintain the additional bone substitute on the defected area, a malleable block-type of bone graft may be a good option rather than particulate-type. Coverage with an InterCollagen® Guide membrane can reduce soft tissue ingrowth. Post-operative view. A view of the bone defect. InterOss® Collagen placement. InterCollagen®...
