Characteristics: a natural replicate of autologous bone, Gen-Os conserves the same intimate structures (matrix and porous form) and presents a high osteoconductive activity.  It is biocompatible and bioavailable, as recognized by tests made according to the ISO 10993 method conducted at the Universita degli Studi di Torino.  Gen-Os is resorbable and provides support in bone neoformation helping to preserve the original graft shape and volume (osteoconductive property).  Moreover, thanks to its collagen content, the product facilitates blood clotting and the subsequent invasion of repairing and regenerating cells, favoring restitutio ad inegrum of missing bone.  Beacuse of its marked "hygroscopicity", it can function as a carrier for selected medication and drugs.

Handling: Gen-Os must always be hydrated and thoroughly mixed with a few drops of sterile saline to activate its collagen matrix and to enhance its adhesivity; it can also be mixed either with OsteoBiol Gel O or with patient's blood.  If necessary it can also be mixed with the drug selected for sugery.

Clinical applications: Oral Surgery: granulomas, dentigenous cysts and split crests.

Periodontology: Filler of deep intrabony defects and furcations.

Implantology: Universal filler used in treatment of dehiscences and periimplantitis, two wall defects, lateral and crestal access sinus lift.  When needed Gen-Os graft can be stabilized mixing with OsteoBiol Gel O and protected with OsteoBiol membranes or Soft Cortical Laminae.
