Putty
The product
Putty is a pre-hydrated injectable bone paste containing collagenic bone granules with a granulometry of up to 300 μm.
The small diameter of the Dual-Phase granules facilitates the application of Putty into peri-implant lesions with intact bony walls¹. Putty should be used in defects able to firmly contain it, in order to stabilize the graft and allow its gradual resorption and new bone deposition.

Why do dentists choose Putty?
Peri-implant and small self-containing bone defects can be effectively grafted with a viscous biomaterial with small-diameter granules.
The “soft” consistency, the small-diameter bone granules of Putty and the practical ready-to-use syringe packaging make it a valid choice for small self-containing peri-implant lesions (1, 2) and small defects with a self-contained cavity.Thanks to its collagen gel content, Putty gently detaches the sinus membrane, thus being a valid option for transcrestal sinus floor elevation(3) with immediate implant placement.

How to handle Putty
Putty should be injected into the defect and adapted to its morphology without extensive compression.
Any non-stable residue must be removed before soft tissue suture.
