Bone Grafting for Avulsive Jaw Injuries and Augmentation Grafts to the Mandible.

Abstract

Bone grafting in discontinuity mandibular defects and augmentation bone grafting to the inferior mandible was accomplished using separately, autogenous bone, freeze-dried bone, autogenous bone in a vitallium tray, and composite bone (freeze-dried allogeneic bone with autogenous hematopoetic marrow inpregnated). All materials healed as bone grafts in the dog mandible. Composite bone and autogenous bone placed in a vitallium tray healed more rapidly than the other methods investigated. Composite bone is an acceptable material for use in either discontinuity defects of the dog mandible or for use as augmentation grafts to the inferior border of the dog mandible. (Author)
