Allergic Reaction to Bio-Oss: Is it Possible?
Last Updated: Apr 28, 2009
Anon. asks:
I know this seems like a silly question but is it possible to have an allergic reaction to Bio-Oss or Bio-Gide (Gestlich)? I grafted my patient with a small amount of graft and membrane. He woke up 48 hours later with a very red itchy swollen face and even today 5 days later his face is still itchy and red although not as bad! He has no pain at the site. I have not been able to find any information on this. Has anybody witnessed a similar occurrence with this product? Is this a delayed hypersensitivity reaction?
