Use straight out of the box

creos mucogain is intended to be used for soft tissue augmentation indications in the oral cavity around teeth or implants:

  • Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) procedures in recession defects for root coverage

  • Localized gingival augmentation to increase keratinized tissue around teeth and implants.

Clinically effective for soft tissue regeneration in combination with immediate implant placement and bone grafting procedure.7,8

A retrospective analysis including 45 patients with a follow-up of up to 4.5 years (mean of 1.8 ± 1.3 years) demonstrated that creos mucogain promotes soft tissue health and maintains adequate soft tissue thickness when used simultaneously with implant placement.9
