What is an autologous bone graft?

Autologous graft, or autograft, involves the transport of bone from a donor site to another location in the same patient. It is considered by many to be the gold standard of bone grafting, as it is provides all biologic factors required for functional graft.

What is Corticocancellous allograft?

* Corticocancellous Bone Block Allograft ideal for ridge widening. * Human Allograft Material provides osteoconductive and osteoinductive matrix. * Stimulates bone formation while providing a scaffold for new bone growth. * Tissue processing in accordance with AATB standards and FDA regulations.

What is allograft bone graft?

Allograft is bone harvested by a tissue bank from a cadaver for use in medical procedures. It can be prepared in a number of different forms (such as chips) for use in a spine fusion.

What is an articular bone graft?

A bone graft is defined as an implanted material that promotes bone healing alone or in combination with other materials, through mechanisms of osteogenesis, osteoinduction, and osteoconduction [72]. From: Nanoengineering in Musculoskeletal Regeneration, 2020.

What are the different types of bone grafts?

Common options for bone grafting include:

Xenograft Tissue.
Alloplast Bone Graft.
Autograft Tissue.
Allograft Tissue.
Growth Factors.

What is a Xenogeneic graft?

xen·o·graft (zen’ō-graft), A graft transferred from an animal of one species to one of another species. Compare: allograft, autograft, isograft.

What material is used for dental bone grafts?

Majority of bone grafts available involve ceramics, either alone or in combination with another material (e.g., calcium sulfate, bioactive glass, and calcium phosphate).

What does cortical bone do?

Cortical bone is the dense outer surface of bone that forms a protective layer around the internal cavity. This type of bone also known as compact bone makes up nearly 80% of skeletal mass and is imperative to body structure and weight bearing because of its high resistance to bending and torsion.

What is the definition of an allograft?

(A-loh-graft) The transplant of an organ, tissue, or cells from one individual to another individual of the same species who is not an identical twin.

What is a bone graft made of?

Alloplastic grafts may be made from hydroxyapatite, a naturally occurring mineral (main mineral component of bone), made from bioactive glass. Hydroxyapatite is a synthetic bone graft, which is the most used now due to its osteoconduction, hardness, and acceptability by bone.
