Application of lyophilized homogenous osseous-dental transplants to large bones in rabbits and monkeys

As part of their treatment, eight patients with 47 infrabony pockets and horizontal bone defects had 29 tricalcium phosphate and 18 frozen allogenic bone implants placed. One year after surgery the sites were reentered. At the tricalcium phosphate implant sites the average amount of bone apposition was 1.2 mm and pocket depth induction 1.8 mm; 38% of the pockets remained deeper than 3.0 mm. At the allogenic bone sites the average amount of bone apposition was 1.5 mm and pocket depth reduction was 2.0 mm; 22% of the pockets remained deeper than 3.0 mm. The implant materials were well tolerated and there were no complications during the period of the study. Though storage and handling of tricalcium phosphate was simpler, use of allogenic bone led to greater bone apposition and reduction in pocket depth.
