DEMINERALIZATION OF BONE TRANSPLANTS IN VIVO Narang, R , Wells, H , and Lloyd, W. S. Oral Surg, 36:291, 1973. Midfibular fracture gaps were made in rats to sample the bone induction capabilities of decalcified allogeneic bone matrix (DABM), fresh autologous bone, fresh allogeneic bone, and decalcified xenogeneic bone matrix (DXBM). The DABM implants were accepted by the host animal. Rejection was observed in 55 percent of the DXBM grafts. Calcium levels showed an initial decline with normal levels by the eighth week using autologous or allogeneic grafts. All of the autologous grafts were accepted but 45 percent of the allogeneic grafts were rejected. It was suggested that calcified bone grafts can become partially or completely decalcified in tissues. It was concluded that since decalcification of bone could be accomplished in vitro, DABM grafts may be used in human osseous defects.
