INFUSE Bone Graft
INFUSE bone graft is for patients who need more bone to place dental implants.
INFUSE consists of two parts; a protein that is found in everyone’s body, plus a natural carrier for delivery. The protein ingredient in INFUSE is a synthetic version of a protein everyone’s body produces naturally in small amounts to regulate bone growth and healing. The natural carrier is made of a material found in tendons. It releases the protein over time where it is placed, provides a framework for new bone to grow into, and is absorbed and replaced by bone.
Using INFUSE Bone Graft eliminates the need for a second surgery to “harvest” or remove surgically, bone from your body (“autogenous” bone) for placement at the oral surgery site. Autogenous bone harvest has the risk of pain, complications, longer surgical time and more anesthesia. Choosing INFUSE Bone Graft eliminates the need for the harvest surgery avoiding the pain and bodily harm associated with bone harvest procedure. For procedures where autogenous bone is not typically used, INFUSE can also be used.
INFUSE Bone Graft is surgically placed where new bone growth is needed. It attracts your body’s own bone building cells to the site and over time, new bone is formed. Bone grows where INFUSE is placed, for predictable bone growth results.
