Storing iliac bone graft on ice rather than at room temperature optimizes cellular viability, with cooled bone demonstrating 22.0% more active cells after 2 hours. Cellular loss of cooled graft plateaued after 4 hours. Clinically, the iliac graft should be maintained on ice until placed into the alveolar cleft. Hassanein AH, Greene AK, Arany PR, Padwa BL.
