Abstract
A clinical evaluation was undertaken to compare regeneration of osseous defects following implantation of either osseous coagulum-bone blend from intraoral sources or autogenous iliac marrow-cancellous bone. Thirty-two transplants were performed in 15 male patients. The intraosseous defects in which marrow was placed (initial average depth = 7.18 mm) filled 60.7% (average fill = 4.36 mm). Defects in which osseous coagulum-bone blend was placed (initial average depth 4.0 mm) filled 73% (average fill = 2.93 mm). The difference in results between the two materials was not statistically significant. Therefore, similar levels of osseous regeneration apparently took place regardless of graft material used.
