Knee Injury
Evaluation of a Composite Cancellous and Demineralized Bone Plug (CR-Plug) for Repair of Knee Osteochondral Defects
The objective of this study is to determine how effective a plug made out of human bone (called "CR-Plug") will be in the treatment of smaller, focal defects (like the injury the patient has to their knee).

Periodontitis
Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of Demineralized Freeze-Dried Bone Allograft Versus Platelet Rich Fibrin for the Treatment of Periodontal Intrabony Defects in Humans
Inflammatory periodontal disease often results in loss of bone around the teeth. Bone defects that have a certain size and shape (called intrabony or intraosseous defects) may be improved by using a graft material in the bony…
