Bioplant HTR-24 is a biocompatible, non-resorbable synthetic bone material which is used to prevent the loss of jawbone after tooth extraction (Advanced Extraction Therapy/Ridge Preservation), to augment the jawbone in preparation for the installation of a prosthesis (Ridge Augmentation), to replace bone lost to periodontal or gum disease (Periodontal Defects), and to provide the foundation for dental implants (Implant Therapy). Features Benefits Bioplant HTR is hemostatic. Bioplant HTR helps stop bleeding and holds the blood clot. It will not wash away with bleeding. Reduced risk of dry socket. Bioplant HTR is hydrophilic. Bioplant HTR is easy to apply at the extraction site. Literally drawn into the socket. Bioplant HTR granules have a negative electrical charge. Bioplant HTR helps stimulate and hasten new bone growth (osteopromotive), as well as, preventing migration of the granules once they are placed. Bioplant HTR does not support the growth of oral pathogens. Bioplant HTR reduces the possibility of infection at the surgical site. Bioplant HTR has a microporous structure. Bioplant HTR allows new bone to form in and around the granules and becomes biologically fixed. Bioplant HTR is non-resorbable. Unlike resorbable competitive materials, Bioplant HTR acts as a permanent "scaffold" which permits the shedding of old bone and promotes the growth of new bone. Bioplant HTR has a low specific gravity. Bioplant HTR goes twice as far as major competitors such as Hydroxylapatite. Bioplant HTR has a graftable surface. Prior to insertion, you can add additional therapeutics such as antibiotics which chemically attach to Bioplant HTR. Bioplant HTR™ is available in both HTR-24 macromesh (the larger particle size used in Ridge Preservation, Ridge Augmentation, cysts, granulomas, and apical lesions) and HTR-40 micromesh (the Smaller particle size used in Periodontal defects and around the neck of implants to increase the buccal-lingual diameter of bone). Packaging is available in both syringes and dappen dishes, pre-filled and packaged sterile*: In addition, Biolant HTR-24 is packaged in both curved and straight syringes. Syringe Bioplant HTR syringes are designed with fine mesh filtration caps which permit quick and easy moistening with marrow blood from the surgical site. Simply pull back on the syringe plunger and draw the blood into the syringe to thoroughly moisten the material. Excess fluid may be expelled by pushing gently on the plunger. Remove the mesh filtration cap and the HTR is ready for application. Dappen Dish Bioplant HTR packaged in the dappen dish provides the practitioner with opportunities to mix other materials with the HTR and to graft the particle surface with antibiotics (in powder or liquid form) or other solutions. A sterile plastic disposable pipette is supplied for the transfer of blood to wet the Bioplant HTR. Moisten HTR with the patients marrow blood (or when necessary, normal saline). Mix after applying each drop of the blood with a sterile instrument. The granules will clump together and then can be easily transferred to the surgical site using anylon-tipped amalgam carrier or a surgical curette. Pack the granules finely, completely filling the surgical site (I)o not overfill). A lot will occur almost immediately. Firm pressure with sterile gauze may be appropriate if oozing persists. When wetted with bleeding marrow prior to using HTR, dense lamina bone can be regenerated. *Note: HTR should never be re-sterilized. Discard unused portion
