Abstract
Present study was carried out in order to explore the ability of a bone graft-decalcified as well as fluoridated to form new bone when put in the rectus abdominis muscle of rabbit. A total of 66 implants placed inside the pouches created in rectus abdominis muscle of rabbits were followed for 2 to 20 weeks. Radiologically decal implants formed bone in 74% cases and fluoridated implants in 68%; whereas histologically 86% of decalcified and 80% of fluoride impregnated decal bone matrix showed evidence of bone induction. It is concluded that fluoride impregnation does not enhance the osteogenic potential of a decal bone matrix.
