Abstract
A pilot study was conducted to investigate the osteogenic potential of autogenous cancellous marrow grafts placed in irradiated tissue. Five dogs and three monkeys received either 4,100 or 6,520 rads of cobalt-60 irradiation during a 5- or 8-week period. Postirradiation discontinuity mandibular defects were created surgically and restored with autogenous cancellous bone marrow grafts held in position by a titanium mesh basket. Bony union occurred in all the mandibles. Intraoral ulceration was common in the dogs, and extraoral wound dehiscence was found in the monkeys. Hematopoietic marrow was present in the graft sites of both species 6 months to 1 year after surgery.Entities:
