Straumann® PrefGel is a pH neutral, 24% EDTA root surface conditioner intended for topical application onto exposed root surfaces during periodontal surgery. Straumann® PrefGel offers an effective, yet gentle removal of the "smear layer" during periodontal surgical procedures. Mechanical debridement of a root surface inevitably produces a smear layer, which in turn may prevent or retard periodontal healing. Straumann® PrefGel is contained in a 0.6 ml sterilized syringe. It comes packaged in a box of 5 syringes or co-packaged with Straumann® Emdogain (3 units of Straumann® Emdogain and 3 syringes of Straumann® PrefGel). |
Root surface conditioning with Straumann® PrefGel
 |
Remove any plaque and/or calculus as well as blood from the root surfaces exposed during periodontal surgery. |
 |
Apply Straumann® PrefGel onto exposed root surfaces for 2 minutes. Active rubbing ("burnishing") is not recommended. |
 |
Rinse thoroughly with sterile saline. Avoid recontamination of the conditioned root surfaces after the final rinse and prior to treatment with Straumann® Emdogain. After application, discard any residual gel. |
