title: Heterologous, lyophilized, non-denatured type-I collagen in dentistry.
abstract: Experience in the use of a heterologous collagen, extracted from bovine Achilles' tendon by a non-denaturing procedure, is reported. Normal tooth extraction procedures, periodontal surgery, treatment of alveolitis, oroparanasal communications and maxillary cysts, and oral surgery in patients affected by a defective haemostatic mechanism, benefit from its use.
