Effect of bovine bone and collagen membranes on healing of mandibular bone blocks: a prospective randomized controlled study

Abstract

The results from this study showed that the addition of bovine bone mineral and a CM around and over a mandibular bone block graft could minimize graft resorption during healing. On the other hand, the use of bone substitutes and barrier membranes in combination with block grafts increased the frequency of complications and the difficulty of their management.
