Transcrestal Sinus Lift Solutions
OraGraft MD 70/30
The combination of 70% mineralized and 30% demineralized allograft bone leverages the benefits of space maintenance with ground cortical with the osteoinductive potential of demineralized ground cortical.
Preservation Method: Freeze Dried
Particle Size: 250-1000 microns
The transcrestal approach was first described by Dr. Summers in 1994, as an alternative to the lateral window approach where a mix of 25% autogenous bone with 75% hydroxyapatite was recommended.1

OraGraft Mineralized Cortical Particulate (FDBA)
An osteoconductive graft that maintains space and remodels to host bone when used for socket preservation.
Preservation Method: Freeze Dried
Particle Size: 250-1000 microns
A study illustrated the correction and preparation of a severely deficient maxilla using the minimally invasive transcrestal technique and mineralized cortical allograft.1 There is also evidence to support that FDBA can be effectively used in the minimally invasive crestal core elevation technique for sinus augmentation.2
