Geistlich Bio-Gide® Shape

Ridge Preservation: A predictable solution^2-7

With Geistlich Biomaterials considerably more ridge volume is preserved at 4 month after tooth extraction.⁸

Spontaneous healing

• Around 50% of the alveolar volume is lost over 6 months (horizontal 29-63%, vertical 11-22%).⁹
• Without supportive bone, the buccal and labial soft tissue in the socket collapses. The natural formation of new bone in the socket cannot compensate for the loss of alveolar volume.¹⁰

Ridge Preservation with Geistlich Bio-Oss® Collagen and Geistlich Bio-Gide®

• Avoids further bone augmentation at implant placement in more than 90% of cases.^7,8
• Achieves a ridge contour that allows an easier insertion of implants¹¹ or serves as a sufficient basis for bridge restoration¹²

Application

Geistlich Bio-Gide® Shape should always be used with a bone graft substitute, such as Geistlich Bio-Oss® or Geistlich Bio-Oss® Collagen. Application of Geistlich Bio-Gide® Shape membrane is easy:

• The tooth is extracted and the usual surgical procedures (curettage, de-epithelisation etc.) are undertaken

• The long strap of the Geistlich Bio-Gide® Shape should be placed to cover the bony defect of the socket, if present. Thereby the dense surface should face towards the soft tissue, and the rough side should face the defect

• Place the membrane without pre-wetting within the extraction socket.

• The defect is filled with a bone grafting material, such as autologous bone or bone substitute (e.g. Geistlich Bio-Oss® / Geistlich Bio-Oss® Collagen)

• To close the extraction socket, both lateral wings of the Geistlich Bio-Gide® Shape membrane should be tucked underneath the mucosa, located mesially and distally of the socket

• The upper wing should be tucked lingually / pallatinally in-between the soft tissue and bone wall

• Fixation of the membrane (e.g. mattress suture) on top may be indicated to avoid its displacement due to shear loading or mobilisation

The general principles of sterile handling and patient medication must be followed when using Geistlich Bio-Gide® Shape
