“Geistlich Fibro-Gide is one of the major innovations in regenerative dentistry in the last 20 years,” said Dr. Daniel Thoma from Zurich, Switzerland.

In contrast to connective tissue grafts which are considered to be the “gold-standard” in soft-tissue augmentation and recession coverage procedures, Geistlich Fibro-Gide does not require a second surgical site, is ready to use, and has an unlimited supply, according tot he company.

“Unlike connective tissue grafts, where you are limited by the patient’s anatomy, Geistlich Fibro-Gide offers variable thickness, allowing the clinician the opportunity to choose the desired and optimal thickness for the procedure,” said Dr. Alan Fetner, Jacksonville, Fla.

Designing a preferred alternative to the soft-tissue graft has involved years of development and more than a thousand prototypes. Geistlich has drawn from its vast experience in researching, analyzing and commercializing collagen based products tailor-made for specific dental procedures and therapeutic solutions. In both preclinical and clinical studies, Geistlich Fibro-Gide demonstrates safety, efficacy and shows clinical comparability to a connective tissue graft.[1-3]

Indications for Use:

Geistlich Fibro-Gide® is indicated for soft-tissue augmentation:

• Localized gingival augmentation to increase keratinized tissue around teeth and implants.
• Alveolar ridge reconstruction for prosthetic treatment.
• Recession defects for root coverage.
