The Benefits of EthOss with Dr Peter Fairbairn
Lecturer, speaker and educator, Dr Peter Fairbairn recently visited the Hale Dental & Implant Clinic to speak to a group of 15 surgeons about the benefits of using EthOss. His talk centred around using the increasingly popular bone graft material to achieve the best long term results when developing hard tissues.
By refining his protocol for many years, Dr Fairbairn has achieved a 99 per cent success rate, even in grafted sites.
Less Surgery, Less Trauma, Happier Patient
In the modern dental market, where synthetic grafts are becoming more and more prevalent, you cannot rest upon your laurels and simply use what was taught 10-20 years ago. For instance, it is now thought that collagen membranes can inhibit regeneration because they just aren’t biologically efficient.
Some modern graft materials don’t need additional collagen membranes because they not only remain stable in the mouth but also provide a built-in barrier function. EthOss also shows great biocompatibility with the soft tissue. This biocompatibility leads to better integration with soft tissue and increases the blood flow from the periosteum through the site.
Another tip given was that there is no need to overpack the site as this will only take longer to heal and more bone will not be generated. Also, the pressure put on the soft tissue over the graft by soft tissues may just make the body resorb excess material. And no one wants to waste their graft material.
Encourage True Host Bone Regeneration
The body does the majority of the work and Dr Fairbairn, as a surgeon, just helps it by providing the right materials and environment. The body wants to heal, let’s work with it.
Simply using Hydroxyapatite (synthetic or xenograft) is not enough anymore. It does not encourage the correct situation in the bone. It does not absorb and the amount of new host bone to give implant support is low.
In order to provide the correct environment for true Guided Bone Regeneration, you need biocompatible graft materials that provide the correct structure to provide volume stability as well as an absorption profile that matches host bone growth. These materials should be fully absorbed and stimulate true host bone growth.
In some cases, you can check sites grafted with hydroxyapatite years later and still there will be bits of material instead of the host’s own bone.
Dr Fairbairn doesn’t use autogenous bone from the osteotomy site when grafting. To him, it isn’t needed because it is dead bone that will only resorb back into the body and won’t give you the fantastic aesthetic results you desire.
A Paradigm Shift in Bone Regeneration
EthOss is at the very forefront of the bone regeneration market. When you achieve results like those shown by Dr Fairbairn, you have little or no residual graft material left after 12 weeks. The newly regenerated tissue surrounding the implant is true host bone.
The results really speak for themselves.
