Yxoss CBR® for customized bone augmentation: "A perfect fit."

From Clinical Challenge to Innovation

Inspired by his clinical work, Dr. Marcus Seiler founded ReOss® GmbH in 2009. Its state-of-the-art technologies, like Yxoss CBR®, enable tailored bone augmentation in ridge regeneration. Combined with Geistlich Bio-Oss® and Geistlich Bio-Gide®, ReOss® offers effective solutions that enhance predictability.

What Initially Inspired Your Business Idea?

The idea emerged from my daily clinical work when I performed many bone augmentations. I often came across cases where the bone blocks showed significant resorption. Besides treating with Geistlich Bio-Oss® and Geistlich Bio-Gide®, I further stabilized the tissue with titanium meshes. I always had to manually adapt and trim the mesh to the patient’s jaw shape. Then it occurred to me: what’s really needed is something that fits perfectly.

From Idea to Implementation

A brilliant idea: did implementation then progress quickly?

My daughter was born soon after, so I had little time to pursue the idea. It was important to me to have it patented as assurance for the company and for users. The technical implementation turned out to be tougher than expected. The challenge was to coordinate all the interfaces for the various digital processes. Step by step, we put the idea into practice, searched for suitable software, and further developed it for the individual design process. Together with a specialized partner company, we went on to develop the 3D printing process for fabricating individual products. After the successful initial phase, we made this technology a core part of our in-house expertise.

Benefits for Patients

What’s the main advantage of your development for patients?

Our goal is to achieve the ideal volume for the ideal implant position. What is crucial is the shape of the jaw and the bone volume we are able to create. With our digital processes, we no longer leave the result to chance. That means the process is reproducible – you can obtain the same result over and over again. And the oral surgeon doesn’t have to harvest bone from other parts of the patient’s body, such as the iliac crest, which avoids additional wounds. Another advantage is that surgery time is reduced by up to 50% compared to previous techniques.

The Future of Medical Regeneration

What developments do you envisage in the field of medical regeneration?

As far as I can see, the trend will continue toward solutions that are better for patients and easier for oral surgeons to use. In our case, this certainly includes materials that no longer need to be removed. We’re working full steam ahead on this.
