What Is Socket Preservation?
Protect your bone after an extraction.
The jawbone can lose up to 50% of its volume within six months after a tooth is removed. Socket preservation uses a bone graft or collagen plug to help maintain bone, support healing, and prepare the site for future implants.
In our hands, the OsteoGen® Plug has been an easy, efficient option for socket preservation—9 out of 10 evaluators rated it ‘easy or very easy’ to use in daily practice.

OsteoGen® Plugs
The One-Step Bone Graft Solution for Socket Preservation – a bioactive, non-ceramic, resorbable calcium phosphate bone graft.
OsteoGen® Strips
The OsteoGen® Bone Grafting Strip infuses bone graft into a collagen strip to eliminate the problems associated with particulate migration.
The OsteoGen™ Solution
OsteoGen® Plug is the answer: one-step, resorbable, no membrane required in most cases.
Why It Matters
Grafting the socket immediately after tooth removal preserves the anatomy needed for predictable, less invasive implant placement later.
And, for patients who may not be ready to commit to an implant right away, socket preservation keeps that option open.
