Socket seal
After tooth extraction, a ridge preservation procedure can compensate resorbed hard tissue1,2 and thereby reduce the number of secondary augmentations at implant placement1.
Sealing an extraction socket with Geistlich Mucograft® Seal can further improve soft-tissue parameters in extraction sockets with preserved buccal walls3. The round matrix provides an alternative to free gingival punch grafts.
Clinical case: Early implant placement with socket sealing for improvement of
soft-tissue parameters.
Empty extraction socket with de-epithelialised wound margins.
Extraction socket filled with Geistlich Bio-Oss® Collagen.
Extraction socket filled with Geistlich Bio-Oss® Collagen and Geistlich Mucograft® Seal and sutured with single interrupted sutures.
3 days after extraction and therapy with Geistlich Mucograft® Seal.
10 weeks after extraction at implant placement pre-op clinical situation.
