Meet Elemental, an intuitive, smart and 100% biocompatible dental material based on zinc ions, providing bacteriostatic wound protection for oral surgical sites.
Elemental Granulate provides bacteriostatic mechanical protection for oral surgical sites. Leveraging the antibacterial & wound-healing properties of zinc ions, Elemental is a practical solution to minimise complications and optimise healing conditions.

Wannes Van Holm, microbiologist & PhD at the research group Periodontology & Oral Microbiology, explains how in the video below.

After harvesting the soft tissue graft, place the palatal stent made with Elemental granulate on the donor site.

As the stent stabilizes the blood clot, there is better visualization when placing the graft on the recipient site.

The patient wears the palatal stent for 7 days. Patients wearing a stent made with Elemental granulate report no post-operative pain.

Clinicians observe better and faster re-epithelization of the donor site.
Perform the tooth extraction and place the regenerative materials; bone graft material or PRF and a membrane, if used.
Place a thin layer of granulate as a wound barrier and optionally fixate the material with sutures for optimal stability.
Elemental mechanically keeps the regenerative materials in place and prevents irration from food or masticatory trauma.
Clinicians observe optimal healing, the site being covered completely by newly-formed connective tissue after 8 days, and no loss of regenerative materials.
