Do you still punch or are you already sealing?

The new Geistlich Mucograft® Seal collagen matrix is essential for this minimally invasive approach. Developed especially for ridge preservation, it can be used for extraction sockets with intact buccal bone lamella (at least 50% preserved).

Benefit from the advantages

Ridge preservation minimises volume loss of the alveolar bone after tooth extraction and the need for subsequent bone augmentation is reduced 10-fold^1,2. In addition, closing the alveolus with Geistlich Mucograft® Seal optimally regenerates soft tissue².
More flexibility for subsequent procedures – an implant can be placed after only 8 to 10 weeks³. Furthermore, bone and soft tissue are also optimally prepared for future implant placement or bridge reconstruction.
