Ethoss

Why choose EthOss?

Now included on the Australian Prostheses List
EthOss is a combination of Beta-Tri-Calcium Phosphate and Calcium Sulphate, creating an environment rich in phosphate and calcium ions, ideal for bone regrowth
The Calcium Sulphate acts as a built-in barrier against soft tissue ingress, removing the need for an additional collagen membrane. This simplifies and expedites treatment
Provides an ethical and highly effective solution for GBR, periodontitis, buccal defects, sinus grafts and extraction socket filling
Helps new bone to grow quickly, with minimal discomfort and pain
Over the course of treatment it will be completely replaced by the patient's own bone and it won't leave any remnants in their body
Easily mixed into a paste with saline and applied using a simple syringe delivery system
Available in 2 single-use syringe sizes (0.5cc and 1cc)
3 syringes per box

Research has shown that up to 50% of bone volume may be lost following extraction, therefore preserving and regenerating the dimensions of a site post-extraction is vital to allow for effective implant placement.

During this session, Dr Nicolas Widmer (Switzerland) discusses socket grafting from the perspective of a general practitioner, showcasing the techniques and materials he uses to achieve effective, predictable results. The discussion includes:

- Case selection considerations
- Techniques for effective socket grafting with EthOss
- How to protect the graft where primary closure is challenging
- Site cleaning and preparation

The presentation features several case studies from Dr Widmer’s own clinical experience.

SOCKET GRAFTING WITH DELAYED IMPLANT PLACEMENT

CASE STUDY BY DR JONATHAN COCHRANE

Patient History

A 45 year old, non-smoking male was referred by his GDP to me for an implant consultation. The GDP had reported an incidental finding of a deep, vertical periodontal pocket associated with the patient's LL7 distal aspect (image 1) during a new patient exam in an otherwise non-periodontally affected mouth (images 2 & 3). Due to the extent of bone loss evident around the tooth as seen on the peri-apical radiograph, the referring GDP (and likewise informed patient) were of the opinion that an implant replacement would be highly unlikely to be offered and/or successful.
