Hamada Sandwich Technique


Introducing the BioXclude® 'Sandwich' Technique - A new powerful regenerative therapy for enhanced healing! This technique involves applying dehydrated deepithelialized amnion-chorion allograft membrane (BioXclude®) directly onto the debrided root surface(s), filling the defect with bone graft, followed by placement of a second piece of BioXclude as the barrier membrane.

New Powerful Regenerative Therapy for Enhanced Periodontal Healing



The idea to cover root surfaces with BioXclude came while listening to Dr. Paul Rosen, where he dripped recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor beta (rhPDGFbb) onto root surfaces prior to guided tissue regeneration. Most importantly, unlike rhPDGFbb, BioXclude delivers a sustained release of a wide variety of growth factors throughout resorption.

I want to publicly acknowledge and congratulate Dr. Yusuke Hamada for presenting the BioXclude 'Sandwich' Technique for the first time at the recent International Symposium on Periodontics and Restorative Dentistry meeting in Boston and continue to applaud his willingness to explore new ways to use regenerative materials for improved outcomes.

The Most Versatile Shelf-Stable Regenerative Material Available

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Indiana University, Department of Periodontics for allowing residents to use BioXclude throughout residency and offering support to Snoasis Medical’s ongoing effort to document benefits provided by the use of amnion-chorion membrane in periodontal and dental implant surgery1,2,3.

Thank you for reading my latest update. I hope this new BioXclude 'Sandwich' Technique encourages you to "double your fun" while enabling you to better save your patient's natural detention.
