Through activation of an- giogenesis and mesenchymal stem cells, the matrix promotes regeneration processes during the first ten days after surgery in particular and thus contrib- utes to faster healing. According to the company, Hya- loss matrix is recommended for use in intraosseous and perio- dontal defects. The best results can be achieved when the ma- trix is mixed with autologous bone grafts, imperiOs stated. An advantage of the matrix is that it can be stored at room temperature and can thus be used immediately to fill defects. In smaller periodontal defects, it can even be used unmixed. New hyaluronic matrix accelerates soft-tissue healing By DentalTribuneInternational F RANKFURT, Germany: German specialist in the field of bone augmenta- tion imperiOs has presented a new product that is based on hyaluron- ic acid, a substance primarily used in plastic surgery but with potential appli- cations in dentistry. According to the company, Hyaloss matrix, a hyaluron- ic matrix, promotes and accelerates the healing process to a significant degree. According to im- periOs, Hyaloss matrix is a bioac- tive and resorbable matrix composed of hyaluronic acid fi- bres and is produced through esterification of the hyaluronic acid molecule with benzyl al- cohol. Once the fibres of the matrix come into contact with liquid, the matrix gelatinises and can easily be inserted into The new Hyaloss matrix.
