& Regeneration
Kervalion,
a key player in the future of biomaterials in dental implantology
KERVALION develops 3D-printed bone grafts, custom-designed from patient scans.
Initially intended for dental pre-implant surgery, these grafts aim to address bone deficiencies that preclude the placement of dental implants. Thanks to personalized manufacturing, they achieve a perfect fit in both shape and volume, simplifying the procedure and reducing the number of surgical interventions required. KERVALION's innovative material ensures excellent tolerance while promoting reliable bone regeneration.
This technology offers practitioners an easier, faster, and more cost-effective solution, thereby making bone grafting accessible to a wider range of professionals, while simultaneously enhancing patient comfort.
A Public Health Challenge
Dental caries in permanent teeth affect over 2 billion people worldwide, and annually, 2 million dental implants are placed in Europe.
Bone Reconstruction in Pre-Implant Surgery: Known Limitations
Currently, bone reconstruction methods include:
– Autografts, considered the « gold standard »
– Allografts (of human, animal, or synthetic origin)
However, these techniques present several disadvantages:
– They require intervention by specialized surgeons
– They involve multiple operations (3 to 4 on average)
– They necessitate a long treatment time (6 to 12 months)
– They incur significant costs (up to €1,500)
– They carry a risk of infection
– They exhibit a non-negligible failure rate (10 to 20%)
These limitations necessitate a faster, more effective, and accessible approach to meet the growing needs of both patients and professionals.
Kervalion's Innovation in Dental Bone Reconstruction
KERVALION offers a novel, ready-to-use solution for treating patients suffering from dental bone resorption. Utilizing 3D printing, we design personalized bone substitutes tailored for each patient. KERVALION employs 3D printing to shape the biomaterial, enabling unparalleled precision in graft fabrication. This advanced technique ensures the production of a bone graft with optimal biological and mechanical properties, which are crucial for successful grafting. This innovative approach promises to revolutionize the field of pre-implant surgery by providing a customized, effective, and less invasive solution for patients requiring bone reconstruction prior to dental implant placement.
Key Advantages of Our Innovation:
Tailored Customization:
The graft is designed from a scan to ensure perfect morphological adaptation, thereby optimizing integration and outcomes.
Single Surgical Procedure:
This technology allows for reducing the intervention to a single surgical procedure, significantly decreasing treatment time and patient discomfort.
Biomechanical Performance:
The KERVALION bone substitute
offers biological and mechanical properties equivalent or superior to existing solutions, ensuring effective and efficient bone regeneration.
