Membranous vs Endochondral Bone Autografts

Post-Extraction Remodeling of the Adult Mandible

“…The mandible itself, however, is subjected to strains more typical of the postcranial skeleton (Throckmorton et al, 1992). Bone of dermal origin also differs from bone of endoskeletal origin in its behavior as a grafting material (Smith and Abramson, 1974;Zins and Whitaker, 1983;Kusiak et al, 1985;Moskalewski et al, 1988Moskalewski et al, , 1991Scott and Hightower, 1991;Scott et al, 1994;Sasano et al, 1995) (Baylink et al, 1993). For example, cultured human mandibular osteoblasts produce more fibroblast growth factor and insulin-like growth factor, but less transforming growth factor beta, than human iliac cells (Kasperk et al, 1995).…”

Maxillary Sinus Floor Lifting Using Freeze-Dried Homologous Bone And Tibia Autologous Bone: Report On Radiographic And Histological Results

“…Endochondral bone grafts (tibia or iliac crest) show more reabsorption than bones of an intramembrane origin, in which even the final volume tends to increase. 50 In our study, despite the endochondral origin of tibia bone, there was a low resorption rate and a bone of clinical characteristics suitable for an implant.…”

“…Los injertos de hueso endocondral (cresta iliaca o tibia) sufren una mayor reabsorción que los huesos de origen intramembranoso, en los cuales incluso el volumen final tiende a aumentar. 50 En nuestro estudio, a pesar del origen endocondral del hueso de tibia, se evidenció una tasa de reabsorción baja y un hueso de características clínicas adecuadas para la colocación de implantes.…”

Autogenous Coronoid Process for Condylar Reconstruction in TMJ Ankylosis Patient: A Case Report

“…Therefore, less bone resorption occurs and owing to its membranous origin. [13] On the other hand, a limitation of this new approach is that the coronoid process cannot be used as a substitute for condylar reconstruction if ankylosed bone involved it. Thus the use of coronoid process can yield successful outcome for reconstruction of TMJ following ankylosis release as suggested in the present case.…”
