” Elemental gives me peace-of-mind as a clinician , knowing that the patient ’ s not going to have problems ”.

” My name is Shelley Khullar and I ’ m a specialist in Oral Surgery , working in Oris Dental in Drammen , Norway . I ’ ve been using Elemental now for about six months and it has proven to be extremely helpful for post-operative protection of wound sites ; especially after extractions or implant placement .”

” When you ’ ve done a bone augmentation using a bone graft and membrane , maybe PRF as well , the last thing you want is the patient crunching down on ” knäckebröd ”. Elemental effectively prevents trauma to the wound , which means it will heal better and faster , and the patient doesn ’ t end up getting food in the socket , scratching it out and removing the blood clot and the materials you ’ ve used . It ’ s much more comfortable for the patient to keep the wound site clean so the patient ’ s satisfaction is great when they come in for their review appointment .
Elemental gives me peace-of-mind as a clinician , knowing that the patient ’ s not going to have problems , thanks to both the mechanical properties as well as the hygienic , bacteriostatic properties of the material . And it seems to give the patients huge peace-of-mind as well , because they ’ re actually going to be able to eat and keep the wound clean without getting food in the area or ending up with a dry socket .
I think we all agree that it ’ s one of the first things clinicians say to us when we ’ re finished doing surgery : ” When can I eat again ? What can I eat ?”. With an Elemental splint you can basically say to your patient to go home and eat taco chips if they like . Well , we do recommend not eating really hard things and being a little bit considerate of their diet , but using Elemental really helps a lot to protect the wound site !”
