title: Cancellous bone grafting with collagen stents.
abstract: Surgical defects were created in the superior border of the mandible in five mongrel dogs and filled with particulate cancellous bone taken from the ilium and held in place with a bovine collagen stent. New bone formation was studied radiographically, histologically, and by intravital tetracycline labeling. The stent was adequate to maintain the bone particles in position and was well-tolerated by the tissues. The length of survival of the collagen stent was related to the degree of tanning.
