[Are allogeneic spongiosa grafts ready for general practice?].
9 subjects with 23 infrabony pockets were filled with 2 differently stored allogenic implants. After 6 months the average pocket reduction was 2.7 mm and bone apposition was 1.0 mm. Surgical corrections were often necessary because of postsurgical flap shrinkage. The relatively demanding procedure makes allogenic bone implants with questionable success not yet an acceptable operative technique for the nonspecialist.
