Dental Membranes as Biological and Mechanical Barriers

One of the keys to success in implant dentistry is osseointegration. However, this goal of new bone formation and intimate adaptation with the implant can be impeded by the more rapidly proliferating epithelial cells that are not involved in bone formation. Two types of dental membranes are available to function as biological and mechanical barriers to these epithelial cells and enhance the crucial structural and functional integration of living bone to the load-bearing implant.

Dentsply Sirona is committed to excellence in implant dentistry and offer products for healthy hard and soft tissue regeneration that are safe, easy to use, consistent, and promote bone formation for long-term outcomes.

Symbios Membranes

For bone and soft tissue generation, Symbios offers a comprehensive portfolio for whatever challenges you face in periodontics, oral surgery, and implant dentistry. Barrier membranes are a part of the portfolio used in guided bone regeneration. GBR membranes, as well as GTR membranes, augment implant success by promoting bone and periodontal ligament growth while hindering fibrous tissue formation. As an exception, Symbios PerioDerm Acellular Dermis is used to treat facial recession defects.

Symbios OsteoShield Collagen Resorbable Membrane

This resorbable membrane is a tissue matrix made from Type-1 bovine collagen. This collagen membrane delivers predictable bone graft in dental surgery procedures, filling bony defects, ridge construction, and dental implant placement.

The membrane has a multi-layer construction that helps prevent soft tissue infiltration and promotes bone healing and prevents bacterial growth. For ease of use, either side of the membrane may face the defect site.

Symbios OsteoShield d-PTFE Non-Resorbable Membrane

This non-resorbable membrane is designed for use when a dental graft is placed in a tooth extraction site, as an aid in the fill of bony defects, and where primary closure is not possible. Removal of the exposed membrane is simple, and it has a micro-machined texture, which facilitates cell adhesion, enhances membrane stability, reduces flap retraction, and increases pull-out strength.

Symbios Collagen Membrane Pre-hydrated

This membrane is comprised of purified whole collagen tissue sourced from bovine pericardium. Immediate use is possible due to its distinctive pre-hydrated delivery feature. Symbios Collagen Membrane Pre-hydrated is malleable and shapes with minimal effort to the defect.

Features include:

  • Intact tissue providing increased mechanical strength that resists being pulled out during suture removal
  • Can be placed on either side
  • Resorption time of approximately 16 weeks

OSSIX Membranes

The OSSIX range of dental membranes includes a resilient resorbable collagen membrane (OSSIX PLUS) and volumizing thick, collagen scaffold (OSSIX VOLUMAX).

OSSIX PLUS

The membrane has a multi-layer construction that aids in preventing soft tissue infiltration and allows the healing of bone with the surrounding tissue while preventing bacterial growth. For ease of use, either side of the membrane may face the defect site.

Features of OSSIX PLUS include:

  • Maintains barrier functionality for 4-6 months
  • Resistant to degradation when exposed for 3-5 weeks
  • Excellent handling properties such as adapting and conforming to defects and adherence to tissue
  • Porcine derived, providing excellent biocompatibility

OSSIX VOLUMAX

This is a volumizing, thick collagen scaffold that also features GLYMATRIX technology.

Its properties include:

  • Thick and expands when wet
  • Excellent handling, easy to use, adapts and adheres to bone
  • Undergoes rapid ossification
  • Safe and effective

When to Use Bone Graft Material

Bone Graft Material is used for reconstruction of bone defects in maxillofacial surgery as well as for augmentation of insufficient bone for implant retention, apicoectomy, cystectomy and other multi-sided bone defects in the alveolar process. Bone graft material may also be used to preserve ridge width and height after tooth extraction.

Dental Bone Graft Materials

Bone graft materials help create a more optimum environment for the osseointegration key to success in implant dentistry. There are many challenges when faced with an inadequate amount of healthy bone. Dentsply Sirona can be trusted to help you meet these challenges with our line of bone grafting materials.

Symbios Bone Graft Material

For defects affecting the bone quantity of your patients, bone graft material can help you create new bone or remodel existing ridges. The Symbios product line includes xenograft, allograft and synthetic bone graft material developed to deliver the bone regeneration results you want to achieve.
