  • Title: [A new concept for preparing lyophilized cartilage and its use in patients with dentogenous cysts--preliminary report].
    Author: Puelacher W, Waldhart E.
    Journal: Z Stomatol; 1989 Mar; 86(1):23-7. PubMed ID: 2638060.
    Abstract:
    Under sterile conditions human costal cartilage is explanted, stripped of perichondrium, deep-frozen and lyophilized for 72 hours. Then single grafts are packaged and gas sterilized. 8 hours before implantation grafts are rehydrated in an antibiotic solution. 19 extensive dentogenous cysts were packed with lyophilized bruised cartilage. Healing was uncomplicated in all cases. A definitive assessment of ossification is not yet possible.
