  • Title: Evaluation of autologous cancellous bone grafting of mandibular discontinuity defects in dogs using a Dacron-urethane prosthesis.
    Author: Schwartz HC, Leake DL, Pizzoferrato A.
    Journal: J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 1987 Feb; 45(2):143-8. PubMed ID: 2949068.
    Abstract:
    Reconstruction of 2 cm discontinuity defects using autologous cancellous bone chips and a Dacron-urethane prosthesis was evaluated in four canine mandibles. Histologic studies were performed on specimens taken six and 12 months after bone grafting. All four grafts were completely incorporated, producing a reconstruction that conformed precisely to the desired shape. Remodeling resulted in a trabecular pattern similar to that of the normal mandible. The prosthesis was well tolerated and did not elicit an inflammatory response.
