Below is an FAQ for Benacel Dental Dressing. Do you see your question answered? Please feel free to open a new topic to ask a question.
After placing BenaCel in the socket, do you retain the material with sutures?
In general, you do not need to suture Benacel. However, if there is a sinus perforation it is advised to suture to prevent the material from dislodging into the sinus space. How long does it takes for BenaCel to resorb?
t varies from 1 to 2 weeks, or more, depending on the amount of BenaCel® used and bleeding conditions.
Which size of BenaCel is preferred for each case?
- Size One (5x7) is for small conical sockets (anterior conical extraction sites),
- Size Two (15x15) For mandibular molars and buccal roots of maxillary molars, 3rd molar after trimming. For small oral lesions, including sores, ulcers, cuts, lacerations, and abrasions of the oral mucosa.
- Size Three (6x8) is for posterior conical extraction sites and sinus perforations and sinus perforations
Is Benacel easy to use?
Yes, it is very Easy too use. Many new BenaCel users don't put it in deep enough. You have to pack it down into the socket so it doesn't come out
Have your patients encountered any allergic reactions or complaints due to BenaCel®?
Never, on the contrary we have had some patients report to us that they had STOPPED smoking and wondered if the material had any chemical composition that would make them not want to smoke. As far as I know it doesn't, but we tell them Congratulations, glad we could help you stop smoking.
