Osteoplast (Vitaform): membrane, crumb, strips, blocks

One of the important tasks in dental surgery is the restoration of bone tissue.

Research has shown that collagen is the most important factor in modeling (the formation of a new bone without installing the old one) and remodeling (restructuring). It is used in dentistry to treat roots and gum problems. A well-known collagen material is osteoplast.

What kind of material, what kind of work is it used for

Osteoplast xenocollagen is considered highly purified and free from mineral salts. It is released from the skeleton bone and tendons, which have high strength and polysaccharide chains, they contain disaccharide units.

The drug itself Osteoplast is on sale from one of the leading manufacturers in the pharmacy market - Vitaform.

Each of the types of Osteoplast is suitable for a specific type of activity in dentistry. You can find out about this from the table, in which M - strips, T - blocks, K - crumbs.

Type of work	Material (Osteoplast form of release)
Defects near implant	M and K
Filling holes after tooth extraction	M, K and T
Defects periodontal	M and K
Root resection	M and K
Prophylaxis atrophy	M and T

Osteoplast properties

The main and most important properties of Osteoplast in dentistry include:

1. Biological compatibility with tissues and additional structures inserted from the outside (in the form braces) or from the inner (in the form pin). Contact with any material does not lead to allergies and inflammatory processes.
2. Osteoinduction. Osteoplast forces cells to actively develop, which allows new bone to form.
3. Filling holes.
4. Formation of fur. a barrier that prevents the transformation of soft tissues into a bone defect.
5. Osteoconductivity is the formation of a scaffold that stimulates bone tissue to form properly.

The use of Osteoplasts is the latest development of the leading dental surgeons and periodontists, which is based on the restoration of bone tissue.

Vitaform is a serious manufacturer of various forms of material

Vitaform is a research and production company whose goal is to develop and implement technologies for the production of honey. products and pharmaceutical. drugs including for dentistry.

Preclinical tests at VNIIIMT have proved that the technology of NPK VITAFORM LLC makes it possible to obtain high-quality biomaterials. Complies with the basic requirements (GOST R ISO 9004-2001) for the conditions of their production. More information about biocomposite osteoplastic material can be found at manufacturer's website.

Vitaform produces Osteoplast in several forms:

1. Chit (marking - K). On official website osteoplast K can be purchased at a price (in rubles):
   • 0.5 cm³ - 700;
   • 1 cm³ - 1000;

View	Peculiarities	Release form
Crumb (C)	Contains bone collagen, mineral components and bone sulfated glycosaminoglycans - these are microchips of different diameters. When they are soaked in blood or saline, a mass is formed that is moderately solid and well fills any defect.	A loose substance that looks like small crystals. It is sold in a glass bottle with various dosages. The color can be from snow-white to light yellow. The color of the box itself is red. If you have forgotten the marking designation, you can identify the required material by the color of the package.
Stripes (M)	In the composition of collagen and bone sulfated glycosaminoglycans. After wetting, they soften, but hold the volume well. Such material can be easily modeled to fit the shape of the defect.	The structure has a rough structure, which is formed by small squares. Also available in a glass jar with varying amounts. The box is pink.
Blocks (T)	It contains collagen, mineral components and bone sulfated glycosaminoglycans. These are solid blocks with pronounced osteoconductive properties. If necessary, they can be crushed or cut to fit the shape of the defect.	The porous blocks are white to yellow in color and have increased compatibility to prevent allergies and rejection. Light blue packaging
Membrane	Created on the basis of bone demineralized collagen type I, in the form of an elastic porous membrane plate, which has a pronounced mechanical barrier property. It prevents the migration of soft tissues into the bone defect to ensure the targeted development of new tissue.	Red color of the box on which the form of release is indicated and next to it is the size. The material is applied to small plates that can be used in conjunction with other types of dental work.

Demineralized and non-demineralized bone collagen

Demineralized collagen is the basis for bone tissue. The manufacturer Vitaform and MGMSU have developed a technology for obtaining bone collagen. The high effect is achieved through multi-stage actions.

The raw material is the bone tissue of large animals (pigs and horses), which they receive from enterprises that have a veterinary and epidemiological certificate. Raw materials are processed directly in production in several stages, which completely eliminates poor quality.

After the initial processing, hygienic control and biocompatibility test are carried out. Resorption time - from 2 months.

Non-demineralized collagen is produced in a selective process that involves many steps. The result is surprising in its stability and strength, and can also contribute to tissue repair. Resorption time - from 4 months.

Osteoplast materials are saturated with sulfated glycosaminoglycans (sGAG).

sGAG is a linear polymer that contains disaccharides and acids. The presence of this material increases biocompatibility and activates growth.

Application in dentistry

The development of inflammation and invasion leads to dysfunction of the epithelium, which is one of the main reasons for the deconstruction of bone tissue. For recovery use osteoplastic collagen-based materials.

Advantages:

• low toxicity;
• minimal risk of tissue rejection;
• strength.

Indications for use in dentistry:

• surgical interventions associated with bone migration;
• for augmentation (restoration of bone jaw tissue);
• for reconstruction of the upper part jaw;
• filling holes after cysts;
• root resection;
• as a blood clot stabilizer.

The postoperative period after the intervention, which occurs together with the components of Osteoplast, passes without complications in all patients. A small part of patients notes only a small swelling in those places where the intervention itself was carried out, it completely subsides after 2-3 days.
