In this video the right maxillary canine is extracted and Biphasic Calcium Sulfate is used for socket preservation. A collagen sponge is used to cover the graft during healing, and the implant is placed four months post-op.

can we use any other membrane to cover exposed material?
Hi Dr. Katbamna,
Collagen sponge or plug with resorption of 10-14 day is a perfect choice as it allows the soft tissue to proliferate above the surface of the graft and is an affordable solution. We recommend on using Matrix-Derm collagen plug and also sell it on our U.S. website.
Please note the plug should be placed on top of the gum and secured according to the protocols.
Also a membrane can be used however it it not the best option, due to the high cost and the fact that when you secure them they tear. If you choose a membrane, it should be placed above the gum not under and secure as well.
