Abstract
Bone dust represents a free source of autologous bone, which can be easily collected during the time of surgery and used as an augment to aid osseous fusion. Further research is required to evaluate the osteoinductive potential of bone dust. The retained growth factors in bone dust may potentially induce local osteoprogenitor cells to proliferate and mineralize to form new bone.
