Geistlich Mucograft The well-documented alternative to soft-tissue grafts for root coverage and gain of keratinized tissue

Gold standard for soft-tissue regeneration

Although the use of autogenous harvested tissues has proven to be the gold standard for soft tissue augmentation procedures involving root coverage or generation of keratinized tissue, harvest site morbidity and limited supply have prompted clinicians to seek graft alternatives.

No need for graft harvesting with Geistlich Mucograft®

Several randomised controlled clinical trials have shown that the xenogenic collagen matrix Geistlich Mucograft® is a viable alternative for increasing keratinised tissue1,2 and for recession coverage3-5 without the morbidity resulting from harvesting autogenous grafts. Through using Geistlich Mucograft®, the absence of a donor site significantly reduces both surgical chair time and post-operative pain, and avoids harvest-site complications. In addition, the matrix provides a superior match of colour and texture to a free gingival graft,6 which is conducive to good aesthetic outcomes.

Easy handling and unlimited availability with Geistlich Mucograft® T

The matrix Geistlich Mucograft® consists of a compact and a spongy structure. The compact structure lends structural integrity and stability. It is easy to suture and protects the defects from infections, allowing Geistlich Mucograft® to be used in open-healing situations without the need for wound-dressing. The spongy structure is designed to stabilise the blood clot and to allow the ingrowth of soft-tissue. As an off-the-shelf product Geistlich Mucograft® offers easy handling, unlimited availability and uniform quality. It is ready to use and can be applied directly from the blister to the defect without any pre-treatment or pre-hydration.
