What is it indicated for?
The intended use of NovaBone Dental Morsels is to provide a safe, biocompatible synthetic bone graft material for use in oral, dental intraosseous, and maxillofacial bone defects.

* Periodontal / infrabony defects
* Ridge augmentation (sinusotomy, osteotomy, cystectomy)
* Extraction sites (ridge maintenance/augmentation, implant preparation/placement)
* Sinus lifts
* Cystic cavities
* Oral and maxillofacial augmentation
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
