Biomaterials from Geistlich Pharma AG are the most frequently used materials in regenerative dentistry worldwide. Over 100 million patients have been treated with them.
Their safety has been assessed by international and national regulatory bodies.
Following a tooth extraction, bone and soft tissue tend to shrink if no restorative treatments are planned. Besides poor aesthetic results, inadequate bone volume can require a secondary procedure for implant stability or cause a gap under a bridge.
Filling the extraction socket with a bone substitute immediately after tooth extraction helps preserve bone volume, supporting better treatment outcomes. If an implant is placed soon after extraction, bone substitutes around the implant also stabilize bone volume.
The socket collapses over time due to natural bone resorption. This results in poor aesthetics with implant restorations and unattractive gaps between bridges and gums.

Ridge preservation — filling the empty socket with a bone substitute — helps retain bone volume and shape. Geistlich Biomaterials provide flexibility in choosing the final restoration (implants or bridges).
Gum tissue surrounds the teeth like a tight cuff. Insufficient healthy gum can lead to inflammation, pain, bleeding, and bone or gum loss.

Geistlich Mucograft® is a clinically proven alternative to tissue transplantation. This collagen matrix supports your body’s natural gum regeneration. Your dentist will recommend the best approach for your needs.

The roots of back teeth sit near the sinus floor — a bone layer separating sinuses from the mouth. After extraction, bone height and thickness decrease, sometimes to just 1mm. Adequate bone is essential for long-term implant stability.
A sinus floor elevation can increase bone height, allowing secure implant placement. Your dentist will recommend a technique suited to your case.
