Can PentOS OI™ Flex be cut and folded to increase millimeter height at the buccal plate?
Using PentOS OI™ Flex to increase thickness.
You could use it by itself, layered over the buccal plate defect, as long as there is adequate blood flow into it. It should be affixed with tacks or screws to prevent mobility, and covered with a resorbable membrane. It is osteoinductive so you should manage to grow some bone to the thickness of the Flex sheet.
Ideally we would backfill into the space with either autogenous or allograft bone such as Raptos®, C-Blast Putty™ or PentOS OI™ Putty.
