Sp‑Block

Cancellous block for the inlay technique in the mandible

The product

Sp-Block is a xenogenic cancellous block. 

The bone matrix is not ceramized and the embedded collagen is preserved in its natural structure, thus accelerating physiological resorption and new bone formation¹⁻⁶ Sp-Block is able to maintain the original graft volume, which is particularly important in the case of large 

Sp-Block is a dry cancellous collagenic bone block.

Sp-Block is ready-to-use and can be used for the treatment of vertical defects with the inlay technique.

Why choosing Sp‑Block?

Vertical augmentation usually requires an extensive amount of autogenous bone, which increases surgical time and may cause more post-op pain to the patient and increase the risk of morbidity. In case of vertical augmentation with the inlay technique, the time to harvest an adequate amount of autogenous bone can be spared by using Sp‑Block. This Dual‑Phase collagenic cancellous block can be used as an alternative to autogenous bone blocks when a vertical gain in the posterior mandible is required⁵⁻⁷ and the amount of residual crestal bone allows the inlay technique protocol.

How to handle Sp-Block

Sp-Block must be hydrated for 5/10 minutes before use with a sterile physiological solution. Afterwards, the block can be adapted to the receiving site which must be accurately decorticated in order to guarantee maximum contact. The blocks should be always fixed with osteosynthesis microscrews. When used for vertical augmentation with inlay technique, Sp-Block should also be fixed with miniplates. Protection with Evolution membrane is recommended. Gaps between the block and bone should be filled with OsteoBiol® collagenic biomaterials, like mp3®⁶
