Palatal grafting is back.

We've developed a pain-free¹, suture-free¹ and chairside method to protect the palate after harvesting free gingival grafts or connective tissue grafts.

Read our randomized controlled trial

No pain, no sutures.

Chairside palatal stent.

The Elemental Workflow

A pain-, impression- and suture-free workflow.

Right before the surgery

Heat & shape the material onto the palate to create the stent.

During surgery

Harvest the graft. No suturing needed on the donor site.

During surgery

Place the stent immediately after harvesting the graft.

After surgery

Patient wears the stent for one week and experiences no pain.

Cases with Elemental®

Prof. Dr. Andy Temmerman

The free gingival graft is harvested. No sutures are placed whatsoever.

The stent is created chairside before the surgery & placed immediately after harvesting the graft.

Without delays, the graft is placed on the recipient site.

Follow-up at one week shows excellent healing and re-epithelialization. Patient experienced no pain.

Dr. Haakon Kuit

The stent is made chairside in advance of the surgery.

The free gingival graft is harvested. No sutures are needed on the donor site.

The stent is placed immediately after harvesting the graft. The blood clot is stabilized.

Without delays, the graft is placed on the recipient site.

Rutger Dhondt

The stent is made chairside before starting the surgery.

There's no need to suture the donor site.

The stent is placed immediately after harvesting the graft. The blood clot is stabilized.

Without delays, the graft is placed on the recipient site.

Join the gold standard in donor site protection.

“The healing is excellent and it even integrates very well with the soft tissue.”

Prof. Dr. Anton Sculean

“Elemental really helps us to reduce donor site pain and speed up the healing.”

Prof. Dr. Daniele Cardaropoli

“Elemental is my go-to method to protect the palate.”

Prof. Dr. Andy Temmerman

"Elemental is very simple to use and you don’t have to suture the palate.”

Dr. Kristina Bertl

“Patients who wear an Elemental stent come back with no pain at all.”

Dr. David Norré

The soft tissue healing afterwards is amazing. It’s almost night and day.”

Prof. Dr. Andreas Stavropoulos

“Not having to suture the donor site saves us a significant amount of time.”

Prof. Dr. Gil Alcoforado

“Managing the palate was always an issue but now we found the solution.”

Dr. Venci Stankov

“With Elemental we can develop a surgical approach to minimize patient pain after surgery.”

Dr. Lukas Wolschner

Validated in published RCT

Clinical Study

"Pre-operative, chair-side Zn-containing surgical stents affect morbidity and wound healing after free gingival graft harvesting: a randomized clinical trial."

Minimizing post-operative pain.

The results show that using Zn-containing palatal stent (Elemental) after free gingival graft surgery significantly reduces pain and patient morbidity during the postoperative period.

The study also revealed that the Zn-containing stent promoted a faster re-epithelialization rate.
