S amples of autogenous bone obtained by high speed burs, low speed burs, hand chisels and bone blending; freeze‐dried bone purchased from a tissue bank and alloplastic materials, such as Calcitite®, Durapatite, Periograf® and Synthograft® used as donor material for periodontal bone grafting procedures, were evaluated histometrically. Particle sizes ranged from a mean of 210 × 105 μ for bone blend to 1559 × 783 μ for hand‐chisel samples. Except for those two materials, all of the others were in the 300 to 500 micron (0.3–0.5 mm) range that seems to be preferred for use in periodontal defects.
