CharacteristicsApatos is a biocompatible(1,2), osteoconductive(3,4) biomaterial of heterologous origin with characteristics similar to mineralized human bone(5); it can therefore be used as an alternative to autologous bone. The natural microporous consistency of Apatos facilitates the formation of new bone tissue in bone defect area(6), accelerating the process. Apatos microcrystalline hydroxyapatite is available in cortical and mixed granules.HandlingApatos must always be hydrated and thoroughly mixed with a few drops of sterile saline or with TSV Gel to increase graft stability in not self-contained defects; it can also be mixed with patient’s blood.
Finally it can be mixed if necessary with the drug selected for surgery; the mixture thus obtained should be positioned with a sterile spatula or syringe for biomaterials.Clinical informationApatos is a universal filler, that can be used to treat peri-implant defects and two-wall defects(7,8). Because of its granulometry, Apatos cannot be used in narrow defects, but it fits well in big sockets, e.g. after molar extractions(9). Both sinus lift procedures (with crestal or lateral access)(2,10) can be performed with Apatosas bone substitute, as well as surgeries for horizontal regenerations.
Apatos Cortical is characterized by a very long resorption time(11), guaranteeing adequate preservation of the grafted volume. When needed, Apatos grafts can be protected with OsteoBiol® Evolution membrane(12) or stabilized with Cortical Lamina.
