Can PentOS OI™ Flex replace a bone graft putty or particles around exposed implant threads?
The use of PentOS OI™ Flex around exposed implant threads.
PentOS OI™ Flex can be used to regenerate bone around exposed implant threads. Essentially, PentOS OI™ Flex will remodel into a new buccal cortex to replace the deficient buccal wall.
Depending on how shallow or deep the bone defect is, back-filling the space between the PentOS OI™ Flex veneer graft and the implant threads with putty or particulate bone graft may be indicated.
