Use of bone grafting is a boon in saving ailing and failing bony structure. Today in dentistry all types of grafts are used, autogenous, xenografts, allografts alloplasts, all giving favorable results. Yet, all have demerits. Xenografts and allografts have high chances of transmission of infection. This article highlights grafts and transmission of such infections.
