• Geistlich Bio-Oss® particles serve as a scaffold for new bone and ensure predictable bone regeneration.
• Geistlich Bio-Oss Collagen® augmented tissue  maintains long-term volume preservation due to the low resorption rate of the material.
• Geistlich Bio-Oss Collagen® significantly improves clinical attachment gain and pocket depth reduction in periodontal surgery.
• Geistlich Bio-Oss Collagen® has the capacity to enable regeneration of the periodontal attachment apparatus in intrabony defects

Handling characteristics are enhanced through the addition of 10% collagen. Geistlich Bio-Oss Collagen® block is easily modelled and adheres well to the defect site.
