Product Description

Osteoallograft^® Periomix^® is natural, real bone allograft designed specifically for veterinary dentistry. It consists of osteoinductive Demineralized Bone Matrix (DBM) and osteoconductive cancellous bone chips. Using bone allograft in periodontics allows you to restore periodontium to save teeth instead of extracting them. It also allows you to effectively restore bone in extraction sites to support good oral and systemic health and to prevent fracture of the mandible. And because it not only provides osteoconductive scaffold but also osteoinductive growth factors (BMPs), you will achieve faster and stronger bone healing compared with using bone substitutes. ^1-4

The demineralization of allograft allows for immediate access to the growth factors (BMPs) inherent in allograft bone when it is placed into the surgery site. This results in an immediate beginning of the healing process and helps to make allograft as effective as autograft. ^5-6

Osteoallograft® Periomix® is professional-grade allograft:
•	Processed aseptically meeting USP guidelines for sterility
•	Acellular and processed by methods that reduce immunogenicity, which eliminates concerns about immune reactions and the need for any type of patient matching
•	Our production practices are GMP and Good Tissue Practices compliant and modeled after human tissue banking standards
•	Our stringent Quality Assurance Program provides confidence and consistency in our products

Indications

Veterinarian and Patient Benefits

Up to 34% of horses of all ages experience some level of periodontal disease and up to 60% of horses 13 years of age and older suffer from severe periodontal disease.⁷ Because of an increased understanding of systemic effects as well as morbidity and pain caused by periodontal disease, periodontics is emerging as a brand new field in equine dentistry.

Here is why small animal veterinarians and human periodontists use bone allograft in periodontics:

After Extractions:
Applying bone allograft after tooth extractions quickly restores bone in extractions sites. ^1-8 And due to its osteoinductive growth factors, natural allograft restores bone faster and stronger than bone substitutes. ^1-4 To see a Grafting Options Comparison Chart, click here.

For Tooth Preservation:
Applying bone allograft around exposed roots rapidly restores bone lost due to periodontal disease and results in reconstruction of the attachment apparatus thus preserving teeth. ^{1-2, 8}
