The last link was written of a study done by some of the U of WA folks (UWMC) which is a top ENT facility in the US (12th). The procedure involves a mesh collegen sponge implanted in the area of the resection either with or without marrow transplanted from another area of the body. From what I've been reading it does have favorable results from the limited information I've been able to find. I don't believe I've seen anyone on these forums that has had this done and am unfamiliar with it. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18355584http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16525283http://mauioralsurgery.com/maui_oral_surgery_img/rhBMP-2.pdf
