PerioPlast Antibacterial Wound Dressing
Transform Post-Operative Healing in Soft Tissue Grafting
Elemental® is an innovative chairside palatal stent system designed to protect the donor site following graft harvesting, eliminate sutures and significantly improve patient comfort.
Providing a simple, predictable solution for palatal wound management, Elemental enhances both clinical efficiency and patient outcomes.
A Smarter Alternative to Traditional Techniques
Unlike conventional approaches such as suturing collagen sponges, laboratory-fabricated stents or cyanoacrylate dressings, Elemental requires no impressions, no lab work and no suturing.
This simplifies workflows while delivering consistent, predictable protection of the donor site.
Chairside Customisation in Minutes
Manufactured from zinc-infused PerioPlast®, Elemental can be moulded directly to the patient’s palate immediately before surgery.
The resulting stent provides stable retention, excellent comfort and reliable protection throughout the healing period.
Protects Donor Site
Provides reliable protection following graft harvesting.
No Sutures Required
Eliminates donor site suturing entirely.
Improved Patient Comfort
Reduces post-operative pain and discomfort.
Chairside Fabrication
Custom stent created in approximately one minute.
No Lab Work
No impressions or laboratory fabrication required.
Biocompatible Material
Zinc-infused PerioPlast® is bacteriostatic and highly biocompatible.
3 Steps, 2 Minutes
Shape the Elemental material on the palate prior to surgery.
Place the stent immediately after harvesting the graft — no suturing required.
The patient wears the stent for approximately 7 days.
Protect Bone Graft & Optimise Healing
Elemental minimises complications and creates ideal healing conditions in mucogingival and implant surgery.
Optimise Blood Clot Stability & Reduce Pain
Apply the material directly to the palate and secure retention interproximally. Deliver the stent immediately after graft harvesting for optimal stabilisation.
Suturing is case-dependent but typically unnecessary. The stent is removed after approximately 7 days.
Clinical Protocol
The stent is placed immediately following graft harvesting and worn continuously for the first 24 hours. Patients then remove it daily for cleaning during the healing period.
Evidence-Based Performance
Elemental is supported by clinical research demonstrating reduced morbidity and improved healing outcomes following graft procedures.
Used by leading clinicians worldwide, it represents a trusted approach to modern periodontal and implant surgery.
A Modern Approach to Palatal Healing
Elemental provides a patient-friendly, efficient alternative to traditional donor site management, helping clinicians perform grafting procedures with greater confidence and control.
Protect bone graft material & optimise healing conditions
Elemental minimises complications and optimises healing conditions in mucogingival & implant surgery.
- Apply the Elemental polymer adapted to the anatomy of the site. The polymer sets into a rigid, stable material. If the fit is not right, reheat and remould the material.
- Optionally, stabilise the Elemental seal with a crisscross suture. This is not necessary in single tooth sites where you can achieve mechanical retention on the adjacent teeth.
- The Elemental seal will keep your bone graft material in place and encourage formation of granulation tissue. Using a membrane is not required. Remove the seal after 3-8 days, depending on the dimensions of the site.
Optimise blood clot stability and healing conditions; minimise post-op pain
- Heat up and mix the granulate. Apply the material onto the palatum and secure retention interproximally. Take the stent out when it has become rigid.
- Deliver the stent immediately after harvesting the donor tissue for optimal blood clot stabilization.
Suturing the donor site is case-dependent but not required. Remove the stent after approx. 7 days.

Prof. Dr. Andy Temmerman
The free gingival graft is harvested. No sutures are placed whatsoever.
The stent is created chairside before the surgery & placed immediately after harvesting the graft.
Without delays, the graft is placed on the recipient site.
Follow-up at one week shows excellent healing and re-epithelialization. Patient experienced no pain.
Dr. Inaki Gamborena
After 20 days, the stent was removed.
Despite underlying complications, the site revealed great healing.
