The Horizontal Ridge Augmentation Using Equine Xenograft and a Collagenated Porcine Cortical Lamina

"The xenograft used in this study was the Gen-Os® by OsteoBiol; as described by the manufacturer, it is a carbonated nanocrystal bone mineral and collagen of natural heterologous origin, obtained by the treatment of cortical bone tissue of equine origins. Its granulometry ranges between 0.25 to 1 mm and it is described as being slightly radiopaque.~The soft lamina (OsteoBiol®) used is a 35x35mm medium curved membrane of porcine origins. Its clinical indications as described by the fabricator: a co-adjuvant for the reconstruction or the partial or complete recovery of lost bone portions, fillers of non-infected, non-sclerotic and well blood bedewed bone defects."
