Exceptional Results You Can Rely On

  • Superior implant survival rate: Clinical evidence shows that using Geistlich Bio-Oss® as a bone graft material achieves implant survival rates above 97%, outperforming sites without grafting and those treated with other bone substitutes.12
  • Unmatched volume stability: The slow resorption and high osteoconductivity of Geistlich Bio-Oss® support effective bone regeneration and long-term volume stability, forming a reliable base for excellent functional and esthetic outcomes.4-6,8,11

Perform With User Friendly and Time-Saving Products

  • Fast liquid uptake: Thanks to its unique micro- and macro-porous structure, Geistlich Bio-Oss® rapidly absorbs blood, nutrients, and growth factors—faster than other bone substitutes. The granules are hydrated within seconds, and their pores fill with serum proteins, serving as a natural growth factor reservoir.13,14
  • Enhanced healing performance: The combination of Geistlich Bio-Oss® with autologous bone or biologically derived products such as REGENFAST® or GEM 21S® promotes faster tissue regeneration.15,16 This effect is supported by the material’s osteoconductive properties, which make it an ideal scaffold for new bone formation.17,18
