Abstract

Clinical experience with 36 cases using freeze-dried allogeneic bone is reported. Its use in a variety of surgeries, including ridge augmentation, mandibular and maxillary osteotomies, mandibular reconstruction, midfacial advancement and obliteration of cystic cavities was associated with a minimal incidence of complications and excellent host acceptance. The collection of bone under sterile conditions and the rigid criteria for the tissue banking process are shown to account for this host compatibility and low complication rate. The physiochemical and biologic properties of freeze-dried allogeneic bone are discussed. This material provides unique practical advantages leading to long-term stability.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
