Abstract
Resorption of ninety intramuscular implants of different types of bone and bone substitutes were studied radiographically in twenty-two adult mongrel dogs. On the basis of mean resorption time, the implants were resorbed in the following order: (1) plaster of Paris, (2) autogenous cancellous bone, (3) cathode-ray-sterilized canine cancellous bone, (4) cathode-ray-sterilized human cancellous bone, (5) homologous cancellous bone, (6) fetal bovine bone, (7) bovine cancellous bone, (8) freeze-dried cancellous bone, (9) collapatite, (10) anorganic bone, and (11) polyurethane foam. The significance of these findings and their possible correlation with other clinical studies are discussed.
