DentoGen calcium sulfate hemihydrates is formulated to enhance regeneration of bone. It completely resorbs and leaves a calcium phosphate-based osteoconductive scaffold that enhances bone regeneration. Calcium sulfate offers several benefits over other graft materials, such as autograft, allograft, and bioactive glass. Calcium sulfate is hemostatic and angiogenic, and it serves as a growth factor.
In addition to inhibiting non-osteogenic cells, DentoGen stimulates blood vessel growth in filled defects. Easy to handle and place, it allows secondary-intention healing, imparts hemostatic properties, and can be mixed with other bone graft materials to prevent particle migration in an osseous defect. It also can be used to create a resorbable barrier over other bone graft materials.
DentoGen is a versatile material, suitable for a variety of applications.
Periodontics
Infra-osseous defects: after periodontal treatment, fill the defect(s) with DentoGen™, pressing on the root surface. In furcations, DentoGen™ can be used alone or under membranes.
Endodontics
Apicoectomy: following root resection, apply a layer of DentoGen™ into the crypt and compress with gauze, thus obtaining hemostasis. Prepare the root end cavity and place the retrograde filling. Then fill the crypt with DentoGen™, placing in layers and in slight excess. Wet the final layer with FAST SET liquid in order to allow for rapid hardening, and then suture.
Root perforations: for intra-coronal treatment, use DentoGen™ as a matrix. Mix DentoGen™ to a creamy consistency and introduce to the pulp chamber. Push it through the perforation into the bone lesion, until the latter is completely filled. Clean the cavity with a small sponge soaked in REGULAR SET liquid; wait until the DentoGen™ has hardened. Remove DentoGen™ from the dentinal walls of the perforation with a rose miller, then close the perforation with fast setting super-EBA or a resin bonding technique.
Open apices: plug the apical third of the canal with DentoGen™, then remove the material until 1 mm from the radiographic apex. Fill the canal with your chosen technique.
Implantology
Dehiscence and fenestrations: reconstruct the bone continuity with DentoGen™. Allow it to harden using the FAST SET liquid and suture.
Mini sinus lifting: before inserting the implant, fill the bone area with DentoGen™, pressing with an appropriate instrument and pushing the material so that the membrane is raised.
Then insert the implant.
Great sinus lifting: DentoGen™ can be used as a single implant material or as a matrix mixed with autologous or heterologous bone.
Fresh Socket Filling around dental implants: DentoGen™ can be used post-extraction as described above with immediate placement of an endosseous implant.
DentoGen is packaged in patient dedicated 1 gram kits, two to a box. The box includes both regular and fast set liquids. The DentoGen™ powder is pre-packaged in a mixing cup. The regular and fast set liquids are provided in easy-to-use vials. Either of the liquids can be poured drop by drop, as required, from these vials.
Easy to use
Preparing DentoGen for use is a simple 3-step process. Read these three easy steps and watch the video.
Step 1: Open the package and add 3-4 drops of regular set liquid to DentoGen powder in the cup.
Step 2: When the mix reaches a putty-like consistency, place it in defect in thin layers. Place it slightly in excess.
Step 3: After the last layer is placed, put a drop or two of fast set liquid over the surface of the outer layer of DentoGen. Fast set liquid accelerates the hardening process to 2 minutes. This allows the graft site to be immediately closed and/or covered by the tissue flap. This saves chair time and increases patient comfort.
