PD VitalOs Cement: Thoughts on this new Synthetic Bone Regeneration Material?

posted in Bone Grafting, en

« Nanostructures Improve Bone Response | Zimmer Implant Offers Cool Solution »

Dr. B. asks:

I have heard about PD VitalOs Cement and read some of the literature about it. It sounds almost too good to be true. It is a synthetic bone regeneration material that can be injected into a prospective implant site where it stimulates bone production. The material is basically calcium phosphate and sets very quickly. It is also osteoconductive. As the bone is produced, the hardened cement resorbs producing an increase in bone volume and quality. One of the main advantages, appears to be that that it does not require a membrane to cover the graft site. It does not have to be mixed. Is anybody using PD VitalOs Cement? What are you thoughts on this product? Any negatives?

  We haven’t used it yet, but are studying the use of these types of products. I’d love to hear more feedback.

  I think that is important to know if is it porous. If yes, which are the size of the micro-macroporosity? And also if is it stable on the bone surface and for how much time? In which type of bone defects we can use it? and……….

  Need. More. Literature. Peer-Reviewed please!

  Have used these types of materials for the last 5 years and spoken about them at numerous national forums and study groups. Have written articles as well. Results are very promising both in defect repair and Sinus lift procedures which I have shown. Many benefits much less post op pain, materials fully resorb leaving just patients own bone , no membrane thus increased blood supply to the graft site.
  I have 300 odd cases using thes materials a great future, but this particular product is new to me , it interesting hows it sets as the other 2 I use “set” using different methods.
  More info would be great

  Think it is Swiss product not sure if it is entirely a bio-material and what makes it set.The similar products are Fortoss Vital and Easygraft (DS) whic we have used.

  i don’t know of this particular brand but have used capo4 w/ hardener lots of times.here’s a trick which addresses porosity issue; add particulate graft material [ osteogen, alloss, etc.] to it, about 3 to 1….3 parts capo4 to 1 part graft….anymore and it doesn’t setup all the way. it’ll fill pretty good size defects. dont place implants immediately in conjunction w/ or in same site…you get a false sense of initial stability and when it starts to resorb your implant falls out.

  Does not require membrane? Most of the calcium phosphate bone grafts require membrane. Do they have literature that supports the claim that membrane is not needed?

  I know that calcium sulfate (CaSO4) based bone grafts do not require a barrier as calcium sulfate has barrier properties, but do not think calcium phosphate has barrier properties.

  I think in the earlier post, Cory meant CaSO4. Please correct me if I am wrong.

  But if you add calcium sulfate to any particulate based bone grafts, it improved handling characteristics and also performance.
