Cytrans Granules Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the most common questions we receive, along with clear answers to help you find what you need quickly. If you don’t see your question here, feel free to reach out to us directly.

There are three sizes available:

• S size (particle diameter: 0.3–0.6 mm)
• M size (particle diameter: 0.6–1.0 mm)
• L size (particle diameter: 1.0–2.0 mm)

There are three volume options:

• 0.25 g (S size, M size)
• 0.5 g (all sizes)
• 2 g (M size, L size)

The main component is carbonate apatite. It is a fully chemically synthesized material that mimics the inorganic components of natural bones, eliminating the risk of disease transmission.

Apatite is an inorganic component that makes up human bones and teeth. It is a type of calcium phosphate.

Cytrans Granule is resorbed by osteoclasts due to the resorbable characteristics of carbonate apatite and then replaced with bone by osteoblasts.

It is a bone graft material used in oral surgery and periodontal surgery, applicable for filling bone defects in the upper and lower jawbones and alveolar ridge.

It can also be used for:

• Filling exposed areas of implants at the time of implant placement

• Bone grafting during two-stage reconstruction in preparation for implant placement

• Simultaneous bone grafting and implant placement

Yes, Cytrans Granule is a bone graft material suitable for GBR (Guided Bone Regeneration).

It is approved for use in oral and periodontal surgery and is also suitable for bone augmentation procedures such as socket preservation and sinus lifts.

There is no officially published porosity value for Cytrans Granule, but literature sources report it as 68.7%.

Human bones are composed of organic components (e.g. collagen) and inorganic components (e.g. apatite).

Cytrans Granule is a bone graft material with a composition similar to the inorganic component of autologous bone.

Safety tests conforming to international standards have been conducted by third-party institutions, confirming that there are no safety concerns.
