Working with bone cements results in true bone regeneration, with over 90% patient’s own bone. 3D Bond+™ acts as a membrane, which allows for soft tissue to proliferate directly on top of the graft.
The healing process differs from many other bone substitutes, and there might be major differences in appearance between traditional grafting and Augma bone cement grafting.
At the first stage, soft tissue proliferation might appear as if the material has collapsed or has washed out. This appearance does not indicate that the grafting procedure was not successful. Three months post-op a complete soft tissue maturation will be evident.
