Independent Claim
47 words
A method for restoring an intraosseous space comprising: (a) accessing said space; (b) placing in said space a first aliquot of restorative composition; and (c) after a period of time sufficient for said first aliquot to set, placing in said space a second aliquot of restorative composition.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
47 words
A method for restoring an intraosseous space comprising: (a) accessing said space; (b) placing in said space a first aliquot of restorative composition; and (c) after a period of time sufficient for said first aliquot to set, placing in said space a second aliquot of restorative composition.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
