Oralife Plus Combination Allograft

Oralife® Plus Combination allograft is a cost-effective alternative to completely engineered grafting materials. It is a mixture of demineralized bone matrix (DBM) with mineral-retained cortical and cancellous chips, processed in a manner to retain the naturally occurring growth factors (BMP) and a conductive lattice — all in one product.[1,2] The design rationale is based on previously proven ratios of Exactech’s engineered biologic allograft, just excluding the carrier. Oralife Plus Combination is available in DBM plus .25-1 mm chips and DBM plus 1-2 mm chips.

In addition to the Plus Combination, the Oralife product line includes DBM, cancellous particulate, cortical particulate and a 50:50 cortical/cancellous mix. Oralife allografts may be used in clinical situations where human allograft is appropriate, such as periodontal defects and sinus-grafting procedures, extraction sockets and intrabony defects and in conjunction with dental implant placement.[3] All Oralife products are single-donor grafts recovered and processed under AATB standards as well as state and federal regulations (FDA and the states of Florida, California, Maryland and New York), using Allowash® Technology.
