The use of a new allograft material for osseous reconstruction associated with dental implants.
This article introduces the use of a new bone graft material. The material is a human collagen allograft resorbable matrix impregnated with demineralized freeze-dried bone granules. This material is harvested from the same donor. A series of three cases of extractions with immediate implant placement accompanied by osseous defects were used to demonstrate the use of this material. Bone cores were harvested at Stage II uncovering of the implants. The histologic and clinical results are reviewed.
