Abstract
Bone is unique in connective tissue healing because it heals entirely by cellular regeneration and the production of a mineral matrix rather than just collagen deposition known as scar. This article discusses the cellular, tissue, and organ levels in each of the following sections—skeletal embryology, normal bone, examples of abnormal bone, and bone graft healing—as they relate to the jaws and the craniofacial skeleton.
