Experience The Integra Dental Difference
One of the most exciting advances in modern reconstructive surgery is the use of synthetic acellular dermal regeneration templates that are designed to accelerate healing. This has been made possible with the introduction of a new material called Integra that enables tissue growth without damaging healthy skin or underlying bone.Dentist Robina
Achieving this is made possible by a special surface coating which helps to maximize healing by creating an environment with high oxygen and glucose levels, as well as low pH. The resulting material is also abrasion resistant and highly durable.
The best way to ensure success with this material is to follow a proven protocol for placement. First, the matrix should be placed on the wound bed in a manner that allows it to absorb and adhere to the surrounding tissues while minimizing contact with the operative site.
Next, the matrix should be secured in place by using either staples or sutures. If more than one sheet is used, overlap the sheets by 2 to 3 mm for the best take possible.
Finally, a small amount of antibiotic slurry can be dispensed on the underside of the Integra before placing it in the mouth. The slurry has been shown to increase cellular turnover in the tissue, making it a viable option for preventing wound scarring and improving the chance of a successful graft.
For the most part, this is a simple procedure that can be performed in a single office visit and requires no special equipment.
