Abstract
Abstract The present invention provides compositions for use in bone tissue regeneration containing a barrier material and a graft material. The barrier material can be calcium sulfate, while the graft material can be any suitable material, including a composite graft material containing demineralized, freeze-dried, allogenic bone (DFDBA) and calcium sulfate. Alternatively, the barrier material can be any suitable material, while the graft material can be a composition of DFDBA and calcium sulfate. Methods of using the compositions for bone tissue regeneration are also provided, as well as kits containing calcium sulfate, a rehydrant and optionally DFDBA.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
56 words
A method of regenerating bone tissue comprising the steps of: (a) filling a recipient graft site with graft material, the graft material comprising demineralized, freeze-dried allogenic bone (DFDBA) and calcium sulfate; and (b) placing a layer of barrier material over at least a portion of the graft material, wherein said barrier material consists of calcium sulfate.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
56 words
A method of regenerating bone tissue comprising the steps of: (a) filling a recipient graft site with graft material, the graft material comprising demineralized, freeze-dried allogenic bone (DFDBA) and calcium sulfate; and (b) placing a layer of barrier material over at least a portion of the graft material, wherein said barrier material consists of calcium sulfate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
The method of regenerating bone tissue of claim 1, wherein said graft material is comprised of about eighty percent DFDBA and about twenty percent calcium sulfate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
The method of regenerating bone tissue of claim 1, further comprising the step of covering said layer of barrier material with a protective material.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
The method of regenerating bone tissue of claim 1, said graft material being substantially free of calcium phosphate ceramic particles.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
20 words
The method of regenerating bone tissue of claim 1, said barrier material being a different material than said graft material.
