Mandibular bone grafts with surface decalcified bone.

Abstract : Experimental studies on dogs are reported, comparing autologous marrow grafts with surface decalcified allogenic grafts and surface decalcified allogenic grafts with autologous marrow fragments. Findings indicate that mandibular bone grafts composed of a combination of surface decalcified allogenic bone and autologous marrow fragments may have advantages to grafts composed only of autologous marrow fragments.
