Choosing the Right Applicator
Selecting an appropriate Augmentation Material Applicator depends on the size of the defect, the access to the site and how the material is to be delivered: the pluggers condense material in place (3.2 mm or 4.5 mm width, stainless steel or titanium tips), while the straight 5 mm applicator and the scoop applicator carry material to the site.
Clinical Use
The Augmentation Material Applicator instruments are used in oral and maxillofacial surgery, periodontics and implantology to carry augmentation material to the site and condense it in place.
