A controlled pilot study was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of a decalcified, freeze‐dried cancellous bone allograft material in the treatment of infrabony periodontal defects in humans. Significant gains in attachment were achieved with the allografting procedure but not with the control procedure which consisted of flap and curettage only.
