Grafting with Bond Apatite® in the aesthetic zone
Takeaways
- Reflect a full thickness flap when necessary
- After extraction and complete debridement, activate and place the Bond Apatite® into the socket
- Place a dry, unfolded gauze above the cement and press firmly for 3 seconds, first with a finger and then with a periosteal elevator
- Suture papillae to papillae
- Protect the exposed cement with Augma Shield™
- Suture and secure Augma Shield™ in place with a cross stitch suture
Additional Information
- Do not use removable appliances during the healing stage
- The cement should be well compacted in the cervical zone, though filling the apex zone is not crucial
- During the initial stage of healing, the cement should not be left exposed
- If Augma Shield™ is not available in your country a simple collagen sponge or plug can be used instead
