Bioplant Bone Grafting Material-
The Key to Postextraction Success and Implant Placement

ORANGE, CA - March 16, 2007 - Kerr is proud to introduce Bioplant^® bone grafting material. Bioplant prevents bone loss, dry socket and promotes bone growth. With this easy-to-use, hemostatic, synthetic product disease transmission is a nonissue, and no membrane is required.

"For the best interest of the patient, doctors should be placing a bone grafting material any time there is an extraction for preventive purposes and long-term oral health," said Kerr Product Manager Brandy Lewis.

Bioplant is used to maintain and restore the alveolar ridge in post-extraction tooth-root sockets after oral surgery, ridge preservation, ridge augmentation, augmentations in the maxillary sinus, repair of periodontal defects and bone voids associated with dental implant placement. This product is also indicated for bony defects due to apicoectomies, cystic formation or tumor removal.

"Bioplant aids in the process of implants because it's easy to place. Implant placement is becoming more widespread among GPs. Now they can make the money themselves - doctors can make $1,200 an hour for this service, including the cost of the product," said Lewis. It is fast, profitable, easy, to use, and no post-grad training required. "Surprisingly, less than 50 percent of general dentists place bone grafting material after a tooth is extracted."

The full line of Kerr products is available from preferred dental distributors. For more information about Bioplant or to learn more about our broad portfolio of products, visit KerrDental.com, contact your local Kerr representative or call 800.KERR.123.
