Q.
I have read that patients are able to use the bone of a cow or some other simialr animal if they are unable to undergo bone grafting. This sounds kind of twisted to me. Is there any truth to it?

The best person to ask this question to would be an implantologist. Bone grafting is commonly done. Most often it is an autogenous graft meaning that bone is taken from another part of your body and transfered or grafted to the area in need.
