Application of dental collagen wound dressing plugs

Dental collagen wound dressing plugs are medical consumables commonly used in surgery to act as fillers, stop bleeding quickly, prevent adhesions, accelerate wound healing, and reduce the prevention of postoperative complications. Some examples of the use of dental collagen wound dressing plugs are shown below.

Application after cyst removal

Teeth affected by periapical lesions that cannot be cured by root canal therapy or apicoectomy can only be extracted as the final treatment. Eventually, more serious lesions such as periapical cysts may be caused, and as the lesion develops, the cavity gradually increases in size, eroding and destroying the surrounding bone tissue. Periapical cysts can be treated clinically by cyst removal, where the cyst wall and the destroyed bone can be completely removed during the procedure. However, after scraping the cyst wall and removing the dead bone, a relatively large invalid cavity remains, and the incision surface and bone surface often ooze blood and local swelling, leading to increased pressure in the cavity and causing complications such as postoperative pain and delayed incision healing.

However, if the pressure is incomplete or incorrectly positioned, or if the iodine gauze is exposed in the oral cavity, it can cause retrograde infection and affect the healing of the incision. However, dental collagen wound dressing plugs can gradually degrade into small molecules, such as hydroxyproline, which can repair damaged tissues and can be absorbed by tissues. The dental collagen wound dressing plug can absorb a large amount of postoperative blood leakage and effectively prevent blood from pooling in the cavity. In preventing bleeding, it promotes adhesion and aggregation of the periodontal membrane, which triggers the endogenous coagulation process. The use of dental collagen wound dressing plugs to fill the ineffective cavity after periapical cyst removal provides better control of local swelling and pain in patients and faster wound healing compared to the traditional iodomimetic strip filling method.

Application in guided periodontal tissue regeneration

Patients with severe alveolar bone resorption can effectively expand the bone volume and restore alveolar bone height and fullness through guided bone regeneration techniques. The key factor of the entire osteogenic quality is the blockage of fibroblasts in soft tissue by biofilm shielding, which is the core of the guided bone regeneration technique. If the autologous soft tissue is not enough to encapsulate the bone tissue after the guided bone regeneration technique implantation, the transplanted soft tissue flap is prone to necrosis due to poor blood flow if the autologous soft tissue graft is taken. To avoid the above situation, dental collagen wound dressing plugs can be used instead of autologous soft tissue to fill the soft-tissue defect site. Dental collagen wound dressing plugs are derived from the porcine pericardium, and the biomechanical and physiological properties of the natural pericardium are well preserved.

The pericardium has a very dense natural collagen structure because it must withstand the pressure of the heart muscles, hold the heart in place and limit its overdistension. It gives dental collagen wound dressing plugs exceptional toughness, excellent tear and tensile strength, and a degradation cycle of up to 6 months. This covers many advantages of enrichment, vascularization, and barrier as a better choice of biomaterials for guided bone regeneration technology.
