Geistlich Bio-Oss Pen® with large granules is recommended
for larger augmentations and for sinus floor elevations.
Elevation of the sinus floor with 100 % Geistlich Bio-Oss®
is a highly effective and predictable treatment option. 1, 2,3
Small Defects
Geistlich Bio-Oss Pen® with small granules is
recommended for smaller bony defects. Small
granules ensure closer contact to the surrounding
bony walls.

Clinical Success
Geistlich Bio-Oss® is a highly osteoconductive biomaterial. It has been shown to be capable of preventing
graft „slumping“ and able to sustain increasing vital bone formation over time. The long-term presence
of Geistlich Bio-Oss® granules 1,2 stabilises the graft. This leads to the retention of both volume and the
desired form of augmented sites. Furthermore, bone mineral density is also increased. As a result of this,
Geistlich Bio-Oss® grafted sites provide an ideal environment for long-term implant survival. 3
