Compsn. for treating bone defects - comprises gellable soln. of polysaccharide and/or gelatin

摘要

Compsns. for coating and/or filling bone defects (esp. prior to insertion of implants) comprises a soln. of at least one polysaccharide and/or gelatin in physiological saline soln., which forms a gel at body temp. The compsns. are esp. useful for sealing the socket after tooth extraction, opt. before inserting a dental implant, and can serve as a vehicle for various active ingredients, e.g. for promoting wound healing, bone regeneration or tissue diffusion. They are not washed off immediately by wound secretions, etc., but are dissolved or resorbed gradually.
