1. What are creos xenogain and creos xenogain collagen?
They are bone graft substitutes that are used in conjunction with bone regeneration procedures in the oral cavity,
usually in preparation for dental implant treatment. creos xenogain is made of bovine bone that has gone througha process to remove its proteins and lipids. creos xenogain collagen also contains this material (90%), combinedwith a highly purified collagen from porcine origin (10%).

2. Why is a bone graft substitute needed?
For a dental implant to be stable and secure, it must be attached to a strong foundation of good-quality bone.
If not enough of this bone is available, a bone graft substitute is needed to fill the defect and provide a suitable
framework for the bone to regenerate. The quantity and quality of bone are key to successful dental implant
treatment, and it has been estimated that almost half of all implants placed require this procedure.

3. Is the bone graft substitute safe?

to an internationally agreed standard for medical devices.

and creos xenogain collagen, but are possible with any surgical procedure. These include infection, wound swelling,bleeding, local inflammation, bone loss or pain. If you experience any adverse reactions, please inform your dentist
