This article examines each class of bone grafting material based on some of the studies in each of the following categories: safety, animal research, periodontal and maxillofacial applications, skeletal grafting, and attempts to qualify the efficacy of each class of material. The article also examines some of the research being done in "tissue engineering" to get a sense of the future of bone grafting.
