Abstract
Summary: Simultaneous smallβ and wideβangle Xβray diffraction of in vitro calcified highly ordered decalcified shad fish bone collagen have identified the calcium phosphate (CaβP) crystals, formed as poorly crystalline apatite, and their highly ordered spatial, axial distribution with respect to the supramolecular packing of collagen fibrils. The extent of in vitro calcification was significantly diminished when the supramolecular collagen packing was disrupted. These findings are similar to both electron microscopic and small angle Xβray scattering (SAXS) studies of native shad and other species of fish bone and other animal species and of in vitro experiments of the calcification of purified and reconstituted native type collagen fibrils. The results emphasize the important role of the supramolecular packing of collagen fibrils in the heterogeneous nucleation of apatite crystals initiating calcification. The exquisite spatial relationships of the inorganic crystal and the supramolecular packing of native collagen fibrils also form a twoβphase composite substance, providing distinct mechanical properties and other physiological functions to bone substance and tissue.

For reconstruction of the severely resorbed lateral maxilla for dental implant placement, one of the successful procedures is to elevate the maxillary sinus floor by implanting demineralized bone matrix (DBM).

Early studies had indicated that tissue repair is initially associated with a lower than normal serum pH that later becomes more alkaline. To determine how tissue pH may affect skeletal healing and mineralization, we used a rat skeletal repair model consisting of a long bone segmental defect grafted
