The submucosal implantation of human allogeneic decalcified dentin.
Decalcified human dentin was implanted into the buccal oral mucosa of 10 human volunteers and was later recovered for histologic examination. Extensive resorption took place. Bone did not form. Human dentinal matrix is not a bone inducer. Differences between the two methods of decalcification were not relevant.
