I can't imagine. Even the idea of getting a bone graft for a bad tooth has been freaking me out. They make them from ground up cadaver bones. They assure me it's a perfectly normal procedure and the bones are irradiated and cleaned, but I'm putting it off as long as possible.
If I was told to replace my genitals with corpse-meat I'd just 41% myself early to get it over with.
Believe me I thought about that a lot already, because apparently other dentists do offer animal or artificial grafts. Animal or human probably gross me out equally.
The human sourced bone is supposed to have the highest compatibility (less chance of failure) while the artificial material has the lowest compatibility. It just sits there to hold the implant in place but doesn't trigger growth of new bone.
Personally, if it were animal bones, I don't think I'd care that much. I've had animal bones in my mouth before. Every time I eat chicken wings, or when I was younger and my mother would place large bones from the drumsticks of a turkey in a pot to flavour a soup. Sure, it might be different to use those bones as teeth, but it's not like it'd be the first time I've had them in my mouth. The only reason we don't consider bones food is because our teeth and jaws aren't made to grind them up.
But if there's a lesser compatibility like you say, then I can see why you wouldn't want to do it. If you're going to pay to have something like that inserted in your dentures, then you want something that will work and won't require multiple operations.
Naw. We are all meat in the meat grinder anyway. I'm certainly not the one turning it. Once you make peace with this fundamental facet of reality, you are liberated.
The jawbone decays when there's no pressure on it so the longer you wait the more cadaver bone they'll need to use. Implant is way better than a bridge.
Apparently the 41% is attempted suicide, and only like 5% (20x higher) actually succeed. So you don't get fact checked in a debate. Still an undeniable sign of mental illness.
"Occasionally cadaver flesh is"
Fucking WHAT
Jesus, time to get off the organ donors list

Maybe a silly question, but if bones from animals were used instead, would you be equally put off by the prospect?
Is there a chance that the human body would have an averse reaction to them even if bones are rather more inert than any other body part?

I know I would feel better about animal bone, using human bones makes me think of cannibalism. I'm not eating it but it's still in my mouth.
Oh boy do I have a creepypasta for you regarding all the skin cells from other people on your food from cooking and handling! 🍳
Disclaimer: I don't actually have a creepypasta about this but it is both a thing and so likely had a creepypasta about it already anyway.

Yup. Why do you think Canada is now a one-stop shop for assisted suicide?
