3D Bond™ is a cementable, osteoconductive bone substitute, made of pure Biphasic Calcium Sulfate; the only one of its kind that can set in the presence of blood and saliva. The material is completely resorbed within 4-10 weeks, coinciding with the time period it takes for bone to form. The outcome is a complete replacement of the graft with the patient’s own bone.

The medical use of Calcium Sulfate has the longest history in the augmentation field, with over 120 years of use in the areas of Orthopedics, Plastics, Oncology and Maxillofacial medicine. This material has been studied and documented most extensively and is the only one that is associated with thousands of articles in various areas of medical literature.
Throughout the years there has been a constant insistence on working with Calcium Sulfate due to its extraordinary features that distinguish it from currently existing augmentation materials. Notwithstanding, the material in its basic form has two prominent drawbacks; namely, its inability to harden as cement in the presence of blood and saliva existing in the oral environment, and the materials fast resorption rate.

The development of 3D Bond™ originated from a clear clinical need to simplify the complexity of today’s augmentation procedures, shorten the working time as well as the recovery time. The development of this material was a process of over 15 years of intensive research, focusing on the use of the pure raw material without any additives or accelerators. The outcome is a superior bone graft material that has the ability to set instantly in the presence of blood and saliva..

Biphasic calcium sulfate is a patented formulation of calcium sulfate. This is the only formulation of calcium sulfate that has the ability to behave as cement in the oral cavity. Additionally, the BCS is moldable and can set and harden instantly in the presence of blood and saliva. The old calcium sulfate could not set and harden when it got it to contact with blood or saliva; therefore, it could not be easily used as a suitable cement in the maxillofacial field.

Certainly. Combining 3D Bond™ with various granular bone substitutes enhances the overall quality of the graft and creates a composite cementable mixture. The granule type can be selected according to the clinician’s preference.

Nonetheless, for larger lesions that require the use of a long lasting space maintainer, it is recommended that the additional bone substitute chosen can address this requirement.

The initial setting time is approximately 3-5 minutes.

It is possible to extend the setting time by using a previously cooled saline liquid, although in our experience this is unnecessary.

When 3D Bond™ is used on its own, the material is completely resorbed and replaced by the patient’s own bone, which is apparent while viewing an x-ray.

Approximately a week post-operation, a radiolucent shading in the circumference can be noticed in an x-ray. This shading will expand up to the fourth week when the entire area will be completely radiolucent. It seems as though the material has completely disappeared, but this is not the case. This is the un-calcified osteoid. Gradually, calcification of the area will take place, so that up to three months after implantation, the entire area will be radiopaque in the x-ray, with an identical appearance to the adjacent native trabecular bone.

Calcium sulfate is the most documented material for bone grafting in history, with over 120 years of literature behind it, and its safety has been proven beyond any doubt. Nevertheless, the clinician should review the User Manual in order to have the best performance.
