MediNiche, Inc. announces new Bone-Tite, the first osseointegration support supplement for dental implant patients.
Bone-Tite is an over-the-counter dietary supplement developed in conjunction with prosthodontists, periodontists, and other dental professional experts in bone metabolism and bone growth. It’s for use with patients who may require nutritional insurance before and after dental implant procedures. Bone-Tite provides key vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that are helpful for proper bone and soft tissue growth, repair, and overall health during implant osseointegration.
The Bone-Tite formula is built around a “bone-building complex” of ingredients that help heal, repair, and strengthen alveolar bone structure. Formulation ingredients include calcium, vitamins C, D-3 and K-1, and minerals magnesium, zinc, manganese, potassium, and copper, as well as bone fortifying agents such as ipriflavone, bromelain, boron, and L-lysine.
The osseointegration specific components in Bone-Tite are helpful for patients who, due to deficiencies or underlying health issues, may be susceptible to reduced osseointegration and implant failure and may benefit from nutritional support.
Advantages of using Bone-Tite
Thomas J. Balshi, DDS, PhD, FACP, an implantologist and Bone-Tite advocate, states, “When a regimen is started prior to an implant procedure, I believe Bone-Tite enhances osseointegration strength, even on the day implants are placed. Continued use following the procedure helps support implant success. I recommend taking three tablets daily prior to surgery, three tablets daily for two months following implant placement, then two tablets daily for six months, and one tablet daily thereafter.”
Bone-Tite tablets have an excellent dissolution rate. A poor tablet dissolution rate can impede the absorption of calcium and other key nutrients. Many nutritional supplement tablets containing high levels of calcium have lacked the dissolving characteristics necessary to allow proper calcium absorption by the body.1
Clinical and academic research have demonstrated that intake of key nutrients is directly related to oral and, specifically, alveolar and periodontal health. "Nutrition plays a key role in osseointegration," says Samuel Alioto, president and CEO of MediNiche.
"In order to help ensure optimal osseointegration and soft tissue repair before and after implant placement, it is critical for patients to follow the pre- and post-procedure recommendations provided by their dental professional,” Alito said.
"With the introduction of Bone-Tite, dental professionals now have the option to provide implant patients with those nutrients that have demonstrated in well controlled clinical studies to be important to the health of alveolar bone."
Dental professionals will be encouraged to recommend Bone-Tite to patients before and after implant procedures. Patients will obtain the product from a dental practice during implant procedure orientation or with doctor recommendation, purchase the product online at bonetite.com or mediniche.com, or by calling (888) 325-2395.
MediNiche marketing plans for Bone-Tite include direct selling, dental products trade advertising, patient first purchase discounts, email blasts, postcards, and dental professional meetings. In addition, MediNiche will extend a special Bone-Tite introductory offer with discount pricing and attractive terms available for all dental practice customers.
