Abstract
A method is described to harvest bone chips for maxillofacial surgery with large burs and a special collecting net connected to a suction de vice. Three nets and four burs were tested in vitro on a pig mandible to determine the optimal combination, All burs produced bone chips of rather similar sizes. The midsized net (hole diameter 0.5 mm) collecte d most bone chips during a 1-min drilling.
