A Novel Approach to Dentin Bone Graft – Kometabio Dentin Protocol
Regen Store supplies the KometaBio Dentin Processing Unit, a fresh and innovative way to create an autogenous bone graft. KometaBio, winner of the ‘Most Innovative Product Award’ at the French Dental Association Conference 2014, represents a breakthrough in dentin processing, offering unparalleled safety, precision and efficiency. The technology involves grinding and processing the patient’s extracted tooth into bioactive particulate graft material for bone augmentation, ridge preservation and other bone remodelling procedures.
Transform Extracted Teeth Into a Highly Effective Autogenous Bone Graft
Dentin-derived bone grafts provide growth factors plus the mineral structure to support osteoconduction. The KometaBio Dentin Processor is used in conjunction with a KometaBio consumables kit (sterile blade, pots and cleaning solutions) to create a patient-specific graft providing the following-
Osteoinductive Growth Factor And BMP-Rich Performance
- Dentin graft processed with KometaBio contains type 1 Collagen plus growth factors (BMP-2 & TGF) – just like bone.
- Up to 63% vital new bone.
- Direct (Ankylosis) shown by histology.
High Patient Engagement And Acceptance
Recycling their extracted teeth stimulates patients and creates a more receptive discussion when implant restoration is discussed.
Cost-Effective Efficiency
One tooth can generate up to 2.0cc of graft at a consumable cost of £23 per cc. (+vat for UK sales) which is very favourably compared with proprietary bone grafts, which typically start at a minimum of £100 per cc.
KOMETABIO INDICATIONS
Dentin-processed bone graft is suitable for multiple indications, such as
- Ridge Preservation- (AKA Socket Preservation) Teeth recycled using KometaBio offer a high-density graft ideal for long-term volume preservation when placed in a freshly extracted and degranulated socket.
- Immediate Implant Defects- Use the osteoinductive stem cell and growth factors alone or as supplements to fully resorbable particulates such as Powerbone Granules.
- Sticky Bone- Combine KometaBio-prepared dentin with a freshly prepared PRF membrane (slug) to create an osteoinductive sticky bone graft. (See separate protocol)
- Ridge Augmentation- Combine KometaBio prepared dentin graft with a fully resorbing bioactive synthetic such as Powerbone Resorbing Granules or Powerbone Flexible Graft for an onlay or inlay procedure. Consider combining it with slowly resorbing HA-based Ti-oss (xenograft) or Powerbone Biphasic (synthetic) for grafting outside the bony envelope.
