A new bone growth catalyst has been introduced by Astra Tech. The patented OsseoSpeed process exploits the power of fluoride to encourage the growth of more bone more rapidly after implantation.

It is achieved by chemically modifying the surface of the implant with traces of fluoride, providing a dynamic interface with the surrounding bone tissue.

Astra Tech claims that the product works by generating a biological and bio-chemical interaction in the early healing phase after implant installation, providing increased bone formation and stronger bone-to-implant bonding.
