An implantable, biocompatible, osteogenic bone graft comprises at least one zone of impermeability to soft tissue ingrowth which is integral with the bone graft. Application of the bone graft to a bone repair site leads to selective rapid new bone ingrowth and inhibits or prevents soft tissue, e.g.,

An implantable, biocompatible, osteogenic bone graft comprises at least one zone of impermeability to soft tissue ingrowth which is integral with the bone graft. Application of the bone graft to a bone repair site leads to selective rapid new bone ingrowth and inhibits or prevents soft tissue, e.g., gingival, epithelial, connective and/or muscle tissue, ingrowth in those areas adjacent to the zone(s) of impermeability to soft tissue ingrowth. The bone graft can be employed in a wide variety of bone repair procedures.
