WHAT IS SYNERGY?
Synergy is an advanced biosynthetic bone graft comprised of calcium phosphates that occur naturally in real bone. It is a biphasic combination of β-Tricalcium Phosphate (β -TCP) and Hydroxyapatite (HA).
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Advanced Formulation - Biphasic Synergy is composed of biocompatible β-TCP and HA1 sintered together.
The ratio is optimized for swift transformation into new bone throughout the graft.
- 85% resorbable β-TCP
- 15% structurally stable HA
Balanced Remodeling - Synergy works with the body in two integrated phases:
- Phase 1: β-TCP simultaneously resorbs as new bone is formed2, remodeling throughout the graft
- Phase 2: HA microparticles slowly resorb, providing an osteoconductive scaffold
Cancellous-like, osteoconductive morphology - Synergy's structure is the architectural equivalent of cancellous bone.
- Interconnected porous structure encourages stem cell migration, proliferation and differentiation into osteoblasts2
- Provides for an adequate flow of nutrients to enhance new bone formation3
HOW IT WORKS
These intelligent bioactive materials have the proven ability to stimulate bone formation.3 The β-TCP quickly releases calcium ions4 that cause clotting and release of platelet-derived growth factors. This cascade of mineral release and blood clotting provides the perfect environment for stimulation of bone healing.
The cancellous-like porosity and surface structure encourage inward cell migration. As the β-TCP resorbs more space is created to support angiogenesis and bone formation1. The micro particles of HA provide a more long lasting osteoconductive structure.
INDICATIONS
Filling, bridging and/or reconstruction of non weight-bearing bony defects.
- Void filling / Extraction sites
- Periodontal pockets / Other bone loss
- Fracture repair
- Cysts / Other osseous defects
