abstract：:There are three mechanisms of bone formation that underlie the use of the different types of implants. In osteogenesis, viable osteoblasts and preosteoblasts are transplanted from one part of the body to the site where new bone is needed; cancellous marrow grafts are an example of such osteogenic engraftment. In osteo...
