Our Palate Free
Approaches to
Soft Tissue Treatment

“Avoiding a second surgical site reduces patient morbidity, as well as my surgical time.”

– Prof. Dr. Daniel Thoma | Zurich, Switzerland

“Geistlich palate free products have provided me with an endless source of soft tissue material, which is beneficial specifically in multiple teeth defects. There are many factors that I take into consideration when going to sources other than autogenous tissue, such as a patient’s concern, a shallow palate and presented with a multiple tooth defect.”

– Dr. Thaer Alqadoumi | Loma Linda, California, USA

“Geistlich Fibro-Gide^® has enabled my practice to offer a long-lasting esthetic outcome for my patients. It is a predictable and less traumatic alternative for several soft tissue augmentation procedures.”

– Dr. Erik Sahl | Palm Springs, California, USA

“Always looking for ways to make my patient experience better, Geistlich Fibro-Gide^® has quickly become a regular part of my practice. In many clinical scenarios, it allows me to avoid harvesting tissue from the palate while achieving a long-lasting esthetic result.”

– Dr. Israel Puterman | Chevy Chase, Maryland, USA

“Geistlich Fibro-Gide^® has been added to my tool belt to provide my patients with a palate free option to optimize implant esthetics all while avoiding a second donor site.”

– Dr. Yvette Carrillo | San Diego, California, USA

“Geistlich Fibro-Gide^® has been a real game changer for my practice! It has allowed me to offer a predictable Palate Free alternative to autogenous tissue for root coverage procedures especially for those patients of mine who are anxious, have had a previous negative experience with palatal harvest, or just don’t have the palatal real estate for sufficient graft harvest!”

– Dr. Vinay Bhide | Aurora, Ontario, Canada

“In my practice I am always open to new products and procedures to optimize patient care. It is also important that it is backed by long-term predictable outcomes. In my experience over the last several years, Geistlich Fibro-Gide^® has the capacity to enhance the soft tissue during guided bone regeneration. It is an alternative approach I use clinically every day.”

– Dr. Hector Sarmiento | New York, New York, USA

“When I evaluate products that I am considering to use in clinical procedures I am always looking at the evidence. With Geistlich products you can be sure that the scientific evidence is well documented and is published in animal and human clinical trials. This has been my clinical experience for over 25 years with the use of Geistlich Bio-Gide^®, Geistlich Bio-Oss^® and Geistlich Bio-Oss Collagen^® for GBR procedures. It continues to be very positive with my use for over a decade with Geistlich Mucograft^® and more recently with Geistlich Fibro-Gide^®, in providing a ‘Palate Free’ mucogingival solution for my patients. In addition and just as important, my patient reported outcome measures (PROMS) are very positive with their use and this is shared with the prospective patient in helping them to make their decision.”
