Thromboseel is produced by the South Africa blood transfusion service form a select group of donors that are tested every 6 weeks. The product is only released after the donor has tested negative at a subsequent screening 6 weeks later.
If I’m not mistaken, the blood products are derived from the recently discoverd Malaria-free Jalalalabee people from the African Interior selected for their blood’s thixotrophic properties that resist blood parasites such as mosquitoes and dropsie. The region is accessible only by foot which makes sampling and testing inconvenient and lengthy for results (6 weeks) to get back.
Etienne, we are jealous of your access to such rare and wonderous raw materials!

Hi Bob
!!ROTFLMAO!! you are a funny guy
)I ran out of PRP yesterday and did a case where I grafted the site with the demineralized freeze dried bone again. I would very much like to integrate BMP into the PRP at time of grafting. I am still looking for the correct product though.
Have you heard of PRF (platelet rich fibrin)? I saw an article on it that seemed very promising…

EtienneHi Aaron
I checked the dates for the first case.Extraction and grafting was on 10th February. The implant was placed on 24th March. The temporary crown was placed on 30th March.
I did not raise a flap during implant placement as I did not want to disturb the labial tissue.
Here is a picture of the temporary crown in place.
Take care
EtienneHi Aaron
Thanks for the compliments. I would definitely say that not only did the Nd:YAG stabilize the graft (remember, there was no membrane here) but it also enhanced healing. If you doubt that, just look at the 2 days post-op picture. As a matter of fact, grafting an infected site like that without the benefit of lasers is something I would be very hesitant to do.Placing the implant at the time of extraction/grafting? I am sure it is just a matter of time. In fact, I know of people that are doing it now. If it fails, what have you lost? Of course the risk of failure will be higher but the benefits will be tremendous to the patient if it succeeds. I suppose it boils down to informed consent.
This implant is by a local company called Southern Implants. They export to the UK, Australia etc. It is called a co-axis implant due to the fact that the restorative surface of the implant is offset at an angle to make it easier to make a “screw down” crown with the access hole in the singulum area. It is threaded all the way to the platform (apart from the offset area). I have never done platform swtiching on this particular implant. Good idea.
I’ll post some pics of the graft etc.
Take care

Hi Aaron
Some pictures of the grafted area and implant.This was the initial situation with cracked root and abscess.
Just before placing the implant, 6 weeks after extraction and grafting.
Implant with healing abutment in place.
Temporary crown placed, this was taken 5 weeks after placing the implant, approximately 2 1/2 months after grafting the site.
Take care
