Abstract
A biological material for treating periodontal diseases and all related disorders, the biomaterial comprising biocompatible bioaragonite, added calcium carbonate and optionally a binding agent. The bioaragonite is mother-of-pearl in micronised form. It is obtained by inhibiting the most immunogenic part of the bioaragonite organic substance so as to maintain bioactive only the organic part associated with the mineral capable of having a positive effect.
Claims21
A material for treatment of periodontopathies and related diseases, comprising:
- biocompatible bioaragonite, and
- pure calcium carbonate having either a crystalline shape or an amorphous form,
- wherein the biocompatible bioaragonite is constituted by a bivalve mollusc shell innermost layer in a powdery or micronized form, of which the most immunogenic part has been substantially inactivated.
A method for preparing a bioaragonite containing composition for treatment of periondotonpathies and related diseases, comprising
- extracting a bivalve mollusc shell innermost layer, substantially inactivating the most immunogenic part of said extracted layer,
- crushing the said layer until it has a powdery or micronized form, with the resulting product constituting biocompatible bioaragonite
- mixing said biocompatible bioaragonite with pure calcium carbonate having a crystalline shape or an amorphous form.
