The Shell technique provides a stable framework for bone augmentation. However, few studies have directly compared different graft materials under intraoral-like conditions, especially in mandibular models. This study aimed to quantitatively compare the osteogenic capacity of four graft materials\u2014autogenous bone (AB), \u03b2-tricalcium phosphate (\u03b2-TCP), octacalcium phosphate collagen composite (OCPC), and atelocollagen absorbable sponge (AAS)\u2014using a rat mandibular shell model that simulates intraoral conditions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Cortical bone blocks were harvested from the mandibular body of 36 male Wistar rats, and mandibular reconstruction was performed using the Shell technique with cortical bone plates. Four graft materials, particulate AB, \u03b2-tricalcium phosphate (\u03b2-TCP), octacalcium phosphate collagen composite (OCPC), and Atelocollagen Absorbable Sponge (AAS), were evaluated.
