The chemical process technology used in the production of Straumann® BoneCeramic™ ensures

• reproducibility
• batch to batch consistency
• biocompatibility

Because of its 100 % synthetic composition any risk of infection or disease transmission can be excluded.

Optimized 90 % porosity encourages vascularization, osteoblast migration and subsequent bone deposition. High porosity and minimum amount of material leave maximum space for new bone growth.

Biphasic calcium phosphate in homogenous composition:
60 % hydroxyapatite (HA) as a strong matrix for long-term bone volume preservation:

• 60 % HA prevents excessive resorption and preserves the bone volume.
• 40 % β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) for rapid initial bone forming cell response: β-TCP resorbs faster and is replaced by natural bone.

The morphology of Straumann® BoneCeramic™ facilitates osteoconductivity, vascularization and osteoblast migration. Straumann® BoneCeramic™ serves as a scaffold for bone deposition during the bone formation process.
The slow resorption rate of HA prevents excessive resorption and maintains the stability of the augmentate volume.
Fast resorbing β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) allows for regeneration of vital bone during healing time.
