- Do not overfill. Material does not resorb at all, i.e there is no volume change over time.
- In wide size cavities, cavities > 35° or with less than three walls please consider membrane for improved primary graft stability.
- Ensure that the surgical wound is completely closed and the granules properly covered. Primary wound stability is important.
- Ensure sufficient blood flow for granules to adhere and to form a stable blood coagulum. If necssary, make puncture holes in bottom of defect.
- Pack granules gently, but enough to ensure optimal interlocking and primary stability.
- Do not mix with other materials - may clog porosities and act as lubricant and hinder clot formation.
- Normal drilling procedure can be used. Use sharp burr.
- Radioopaque - can easily be seen on x-ray.
- Easy to communicate to patients - titanium has been used in dental applications for over 40 years.
