FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

Tigran's products are not for sale in the U.S.

What is Tigran™ PTG made of?

- Tigran™ PTG is made of 100% pure titanium and is optimized in shape, size, and surface chemistry to make optimal scaffolding for the body’s bone cells in which to build new jawbone.

Is a treatment painful?

- Like other dental surgical intervention local anesthesia is used in connection with the treatment. The method saves you as a patient an extra surgery, as opposed to the common method of using bone graft from a second surgery in the hip or jaw.

Could I have post-operative difficulties after bone formation treatment with titanium?

- Like all other dental surgical intervention, swelling and pain may occur during the first days. Pain relievers may be used to relieve any pain.

How long do the treatment results last?

- Because titanium is non-resorbable, that is, it maintains its volume, it produces lifetime results.

I have metal allergies. Can a bone regeneration treatment with titanium cause allergic reactions?

- Allergies to titanium are extremely rare. Titanium is considered to be very biocompatible which involves a very low risk of allergies. The chemical structure of the titanium granules follows the guidelines for non-alloyed titanium for implant use and there are no reported cases of allergic reactions in connection with treatment with titanium granules.
