Tigran carries out a number of clinical and experimental studies
Tigran™ PTG are irregularly shaped and porous granules manufactured using commercially pure titanium. The granules are between 0.7 mm and 1.0 mm. When they are mixed with the patient’s blood or with a saline solution the granules attach to each other due to the capillary force. The titanium surface is very thrombogenic, which facilitates the formation of stabilizing blood clots around the granules.
The granules that have a porosity of about 80% and an osteoconductive surface structure, imitate properties of human bone and create a scaffolding for bone generation that stimulates osteoblast colonization and osseointegration. The granules are non-resorbable and keep their volume during the operation and the entire healing period which ensures mechanical stability and a desired aesthetic result.
Tigran™ PTG is easy to use. No special tools are needed. When osseointegration is completed, common drilling techniques are used when an implant has to be placed in the treated area.
Tigran™ PTG is intended for sinus lift and other posterior applications while Tigran™ PTG White can be more suitable in certain esthetically sensitive applications in the anterior areas of the jaw.
