This was rather poorly written; I can't really even understand what it says, so I'm just taking it out:

Perhaps the most common use of bone grafting is in the use of dental implants. These require a quantity of bone for support and to successfully osseointegrate. Where there is insufficient bone, for example where a patient has been edentulous (without teeth) for a prolonged period bone may be taken from the chin or from the pilot holes for the implants or even from the illiac crest of the pelvis to provide the necessary quantity of bone.

[edit] cow bone

Couldn't implants also come from cow bones?
