Most bone grafts are expected to be reabsorbed and replaced as the natural bone heals over a few months’ time. Bone grafting is possible because bone tissue, unlike most other tissues, has the ability to regenerate completely if provided the space in which to grow. As native bone grows, it will generally replace the graft material completely, resulting in a fully integrated region of new bone. This has many indications such as implant dentistry where bone is necessary for the implant to succeed.
