EthOss Synthetic Bone Graft

EthOss® as a synthetic solution that simplifies the work with bone defects

EthOss® is a synthetic bone graft used for filling, augmentation and reconstruction of bone defects in the maxillofacial area. The material is used, in particular, for intraosseous defects, alveolar ridge augmentation and filling of sockets after tooth extraction.

The key difference of EthOss is the combination of β-tricalcium phosphate and calcium sulfate. It is this combination that forms a stable, manageable consistency of the material and allows it to work as a graft with built-in stabilization during insertion.

For whom the material will usually “go in” the most and is most appropriate and in which situations

• Implantologists and surgeons who work with typical defects and value a clean, predictable protocol where the material holds its shape and volume well during insertion. EthOss is positioned as a material that is completely replaced by the patient's own bone.
• Periodontists who deal with intraosseous defects and expect a stable osteoplastic material with a clear and understandable healing timing.
• Clinicians whose patients fundamentally choose a solution without animal or donor origin, since EthOss is a completely synthetic material.

Typical clinical tasks in which the material is used

• Filling of cavities after extraction
• Local augmentation of the alveolar ridge
• Intraosseous defects in periodontology and surgery

How the properties of the material manifest themselves in real work

How the material is formed and what makes it work

The material consists of 65% β-tricalcium phosphate and 35% calcium sulfate.
β-Tricalcium phosphate forms an osteoconductive scaffold for bone formation, while calcium sulfate provides bonding and stability during placement. In practice, this means less granule shedding and a more comfortable defect formation.

How the material behaves in the tissues over time

EthOss is usually completely resorbed within 6–12 months.
This approach is often chosen by physicians who do not work with materials that remain in the tissues for a long time and expect the graft to gradually be replaced by the patient’s own bone tissue.

What is important to know about preparing the material before placement

Only sterile 0.9% NaCl saline is used for mixing. 
This reduces the number of variables in the protocol and allows for a stable, predictable consistency of the material.

When is a repeat surgical step usually planned

The recommended re-entry period is about 12 weeks.
This timing is convenient for planning a follow-up or second stage of treatment, but the final decision is always made taking into account the clinical picture and CT or X-ray examination data.

How to choose the volume of material for a specific clinical task

EthOss is available in 3×0.25 cc, 3×0.5 cc and 3×1 cc formats.
This allows you to choose the right volume for single holes or local defects without overspending on the material.

What doctors usually attribute to real advantages in the work

• The material is completely synthetic and does not have animal or human origin, which is fundamental for some patients and clinics.
• Working with the material has a clear timing: re-entry is usually planned after 12 weeks, and complete resorption occurs within 6–12 months according to the manufacturer's data.
• The behavior of the material during application is predictable: mixing in saline forms a stable mass, which in real practice saves time and simplifies manipulation.

What clinical limitations and trade-offs should be kept in mind

• There is no bone graft that would allow to do without a membrane in any type of defect. Even if simplified approaches are possible in individual cases, in large or complex defects the decision regarding the membrane, fixation and work with soft tissues is determined by the clinical situation, not by marketing claims.
• For doctors who are used to xenografts with long-term volumetric stability, EthOss offers a different philosophy of work. The material is completely resorbed within 6–12 months according to the manufacturer's statement, so the expectations from the bone remodeling process should be different.

How EthOss meets the needs of doctors of different specialties

Implantologist and surgeon

In practice, a fast protocol, stability of the material in the defect and predictable treatment times are important.
EthOss offers re-entry after approximately 12 weeks and complete resorption within 6–12 months according to the stated data.

Periodontist

The ability to work with intrabony defects and a clear healing timing are key.
EthOss indications include infrabony defects, which meets these tasks.

Maxillofacial surgeon and complex reconstructions

In such cases, materials with predictable quality, clear parameters and an evidence base are usually required.
EthOss has a synthetic composition and stated resorption and timing parameters, however, in large defects, the choice is often made in favor of protocols with membranes, blocks or fixation. EthOss does not cancel the surgical logic, but fits into it.
