Produced by removing all organic components from bovine bone and is physically comparable to the mineralized matrix of bone. Proprietary manufacturing process allows for maintenance of the naturally occurring bone-mineral structure, including macroscopic and microscopic structures. Due to the trabecular architecture with interconnecting macro- and micropores, the ingrowth of new bone and associated vascularization at the site of grafting is optimized. NuOss may be used with autogenous bone when there is an insufficient quantity of bone to fulfill the needs of the proposed surgical procedure. Used for ridge augmentations, elevating the maxillary sinus floor, and filling infrabony periodontal defects, extraction sockets, and perio-implant defects.
