1996

Osteogenics Biomedical enters the dental bone grafting market with a dense PTFE membrane. The company is incorporated with a mission of developing dental bone grafting products to increase the predictability of regenerative procedures.

1998

Osteogenics introduces a new patented surface technology - the Regentex™ textured surface - to the dense PTFE membrane. This 3rd generation PTFE membrane combines the benefits of a membrane occlusive to bacteria with a textured surface that helps stabilize the membrane and soft tissue flap.

1999

Osteogenics introduces the first nitride-coated ridge augmentation mesh - Osteo-Mesh™ TM-300.

1999

Osteogenics acquires Permaridge® synthetic ridge augmentation matrix from CeraMed Dental. Permaridge® helps correct alveolar ridge resorption, providing denture wearers with more stable and comfortable dentures.

1999

Osteogenics relocates to a larger manufacturing facility in Lubbock, TX.

2000

Osteogenics receives a technique patent for treating alveolar bone defects using dense PTFE membranes - the Cytoplast Technique™. The Cytoplast Technique™ for socket grafting is the first technique utilizing membranes left exposed, thereby reducing surgical time, preserving soft tissue architecture and increasing keratinzed mucosa. Because the Cytoplast™ dense PTFE membranes are impervious to bacteria, they are especially well-suited to be left exposed in the oral environment.

2002


Osteogenics expands its regenerative portfolio with the addition of Cytoplast™ PTFE Suture and Cytoplast™ RTM collagen membranes. The company is one of only two companies in the world to manufacture PTFE suture.

2003


Osteogenics receives ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 quality certifications, demonstrating compliance with strict European quality guidelines.

2005


Osteogenics moves its corporate headquarters and manufacturing operations into a new 7,000 square-foot state-of-the-art facility in Lubbock, TX..

2007


The company receives MDD/93/42/EEC certification, allowing the company to expand into Europe by distributing under the CE mark.

2007


The company applies its Regentex™ surfaced technology to its line of titanium-reinforced membranes. Osteogenics also introduces four new titanium-reinforced application-specific membrane sizes.

2008


Osteogenics Clinical Education™, a division of Osteogenics Biomedical, is established with a mission of providing interactive, hands-on clinical education in bone grafting and implant dentistry.

2009


Osteogenics introduces two application-specific titanium-reinforced membrane sizes. The new sizes are the first to incorporate pilot holes and a broader titanium frame.

2009


170 clinicians from six countries and three continents attend Osteogenics Clinical Education's™ first global bone grafting symposium in Scottsdale, Arizona.

2010


Osteogenics signs an agreement with META Advanced Medical Technology in Italy, giving the company distribution rights in the U.S. and Canada for its dental bone grafting products, including its autogenous bone collectors Micross and Safescraper®, and crestal sinus lift kit, SinCrest.

2010


Osteogenics introduces the Pro-fix™ Precision Fixation System. Pro-fix™ is first introduced with self-drilling membrane fixation screws and will soon include self-drilling tenting screws and self-tapping bone fixation screws.

2010


Osteogenics introduces enCore® Combination Allograft and enCore® Mineralized Allograft, the first dental bone grafting product introduced by Osteogenics. The combination allograft is the first particulate dental bone grafting product to combine mineralized and demineralized bone in a single bottle.

2012


Osteogenics moves into a new 10,000 square-foot manufacturing facility, adding to its corporate headquarters campus in Lubbock, Texas.

2014


Osteogenics undergoes major renovations to its corporate headquarters to maximize space for company growth.

2015


Osteogenics acquires exclusive distribution rights to sell the synthetic, osteostimulative NovaBone® Dental products in the U.S. and Canada. Within the NovaBone® product line is an especially unique product, NovaBone® Dental Putty, a pre-mixed moldable putty that is available in a variety of delivery systems.

2015


Osteogenics introduces Zcore™ porcine xenograft particulate, an osteoconductive anorganic bone mineral derived from porcine cancellous bone. Hyper-porosity of the porcine cancellous matrix and intra-particle space reduces bulk density of the graft, allowing 88 – 95% empty space for bone growth.

2016


Osteogenics acquires the exclusive North American distribution rights for the premium German dental suture brand, Resorba®. Resorba® sutures are made from unique materials that are designed especially for dentistry and are available with black 300-series stainless steel needles that enhance visualization in the mouth.

2016


Osteogenics introduces the newest product to complement the family of enCore® allografts - enCore® OD allograft, comprised of 30% mineralized cortical bone and 70% mineralized cancellous bone. enCore® OD is designed to be used with osseodensification (OD) protocols.

2016


Osteogenics expands its regenerative portfolio with the addition of absorbable collagen wound dressings - Cytoplast™ RTMPlug, RTMFoam, and RTMTape.

2018


Osteogenics launches its newest collagen membrane, Zmatrix, a natural/native non-cross-linked porcine peritoneum collagen membrane that is pliable enough to contour to its environment but substantial enough to not adhere to itself.

2018


RPM™ Reinforced PTFE Mesh is introduced. Its unique circular macroporous design allows for direct contact between the bone graft and periosteum, allowing

2020


Osteogenics acquires distribution rights for the Swann-Morton® premium micro-serrated blades. These blades are designed with a unique cutting edge that results in a consistently sharp blade. The edge design combines a micro-serrated edge with a razor edge that provides the user with a tactile sensitivity improving depth control, while also creating equal, smooth tissue margins.
