Allogeneic Bone Paste Versus Allogeneic Bone Powder

Autogenous bone graft has been considered the gold standard in Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) technique used for bone augmentation. However, there are disadvantages associated with autograft use such as limited amount of available bone and increased morbidity for the patient at the sampling site. Several biomaterials have been used as a replacement of the autogenous bone. Viral-inactivated bone allograft powder is an alternative that has proven efficacy and tolerance. This study aims to assess the non-inferiority of viral-inactivated allogeneic bone paste compared to a viral-inactivated cortico-cancellous allogenic bone powder in achieving the ideal bone volume.
