Fresh or fresh-frozen bone

Freeze-dried bone allograft

Demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft

C) Xenografts

Osseous for accomplishing xenograft is obtained from cadaver bone of another organism, generally a bovine bone.

D) Synthetic and alloplastic grafts

Artificial bone grafts can be prepared with synthetic variants of ceramics like calcium phosphates, calcium sulphate and bioglass. But the effectiveness of such graft may reduce on time span and stress provided to the synthetic bone. Synthetic bone graft or alloplastic grafts produced from a natively occurring mineral component of bone called hydroxyapatite is a good source of artificial grafts.
