Replacement of bone around Teeth

[Angels_Devils]

Types of Bone graft

1. Autogenous - bone taken from one area of the patient and transplanted to another area requiring such grafting
2. Allograft - either synthetic bone or bone from a bone bank (cadaver bone)
3. Xenograft - bovine /cow bone

Autogenous bone is the "gold standard" and oftentimes has the most predictable results.This is described as the best type of graft because such bone is live bone with live active cellular elements that enhance bone growth, whereas other types of grafts are devoid of any active cellular material.

Allografts and Xenografts both do not require a second surgical site as does the autogenous bone. Ample amounts can be easily obtained.

All true Boyle, further...

1. All from the same patient (therefore osteoconductive and osteoinductive.

2. Allografts are bone grafts from the same species. Not always easily obtained, however, as all this tissue is donated.

3. Xenografts are from a different species. Not used much these days unless 1 and 2 are not a option. 2 and 3 require the tissue be "deproteinated" so no diseases are brought along, but this also makes them only osteoconductive, and not osteoinductive.
Bovine, Coral, etc.

All good stuff!
