Cancellous Allograft (FDBA: Freeze Dried Bone Allograft)

Cancellous Bone is a spongy interior layer of bone and is called a spongy bone or trabecular bone due to it’s type and structure.
It has good osteoconductive properties and is very well suited to fill defect in the bony structure. In addition, it is a strong bone graft material that can provide structural support so it is readily remodelled by the human body and are replaced by new host bone.

 

Cortical Allograft (FDBA: Freeze Dried Bone Allograft)

Cortical Bone is a compact type of bone tissue. It facilitates bone’s main functions such as supporting body, protecting vital organs, providing levers for movement and storing minerals especially calcium.
It is found on the outside of bones and it has much higher density there it is widely used to repair bone fractures.

 

DBM Allograft (DFDBA: Demineralized Freeze Dried Bone Allograft)

Demineralized Bone is prepared by acid extraction of allograft bone, resulting in loss of most of the mineralized component but retention of collagen and noncollagenous proteins, including growth factors. The efficacy of a demineralized bone matrix as a bone-graft substitute or extender may be related to the total amount of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) present, and the ratios of the different BMP’s present, provide an ideal combination of osteoinduction and osteoconduction for guided bone regeneration.
