Abstract
Bone augmentation in a mammalian body by insertion of a mesh comprising one or more fibrillar wires having a hydroxyl apatite coating into a bone cavity or socket. The one or more fibrillar wires are arranged or assembled into a woolly structure, which may be infused or cultured with a bone morphogenic protein. The mesh is sealed in the cavity to permit new bone to form over time, resulting in an osteointegrated matrix of bone reinforced by the fibrillar wires of the mesh.
