Absorbable

An absorbable dental product is a material used in dentistry that is designed to be absorbed by the body over time. These products are commonly used in dental procedures that require the material to be resorbed by the body after the procedure is completed.

One example of an absorbable dental product is a resorbable collagen membrane, which is used in periodontal surgery. This membrane is placed over the area where the gum tissue has been removed, and it helps to prevent the gum tissue from growing back over the area while it heals. Over time, the body absorbs the membrane, eliminating the need for it to be removed.

Another example of an absorbable dental product is an absorbable suture, which is used to close wounds or incisions in the mouth. These sutures are made from materials that the body can absorb over time, eliminating the need for them to be removed after the wound has healed.

Absorbable dental products can provide a number of benefits, including reducing the need for additional procedures to remove the material and reducing the risk of infection or other complications associated with leaving foreign material in the body.
