The purpose of this study was to investigate the incorporation of fresh frozen irradiated membranous allogeneic bone grafts into critical size calvarial defects in the rabbit. Fifteen rabbits had calvarial defects prepared. Twelve rabbits received allogeneic grafts and three received autogenous bone grafts. The rabbits were sacrificed at 9 and 12 months postoperatively, and the specimens were examined radiologically, histopathologically and with fluorescence microscopy. Neovascularization, bone marrow regeneration and new bone formation was evident throughout the grafts however revitalization of the entire graft was incomplete at 12 months. This study revealed that the FFI membranous grafts were well incorporated into rabbit calvarial defects.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008856	Microscopy, Fluorescence	Microscopy of specimens stained with fluorescent dye (usually fluorescein isothiocyanate) or of naturally fluorescent materials, which emit light when exposed to ultraviolet or blue light. Immunofluorescence microscopy utilizes antibodies that are labeled with fluorescent dye.	Fluorescence Microscopy,Immunofluorescence Microscopy,Microscopy, Immunofluorescence,Fluorescence Microscopies,Immunofluorescence Microscopies,Microscopies, Fluorescence,Microscopies, Immunofluorescence
D010006	Osteoblasts	Bone-forming cells which secrete an EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX. HYDROXYAPATITE crystals are then deposited into the matrix to form bone.	Osteoblast
D010010	Osteoclasts	A large multinuclear cell associated with the BONE RESORPTION. An odontoclast, also called cementoclast, is cytomorphologically the same as an osteoclast and is involved in CEMENTUM resorption.	Odontoclasts,Cementoclast,Cementoclasts,Odontoclast,Osteoclast
D010012	Osteogenesis	The process of bone formation. Histogenesis of bone including ossification.

D011817	Rabbits	A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D001853	Bone Marrow	The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.

D001861	Bone Regeneration	Renewal or repair of lost bone tissue. It excludes BONY CALLUS formed after BONE FRACTURES but not yet replaced by hard bone.	Osteoconduction,Bone Regenerations,Regeneration, Bone,Regenerations, Bone
