These days most dental offices use a white powder that mimics (or turns into a substance) that bonds with your current bone. There is no spiritual residue with this substance because it is not from human bone/flesh.

The material used most often for the “ridge preservation graft” is a xenograft comprised of bovine bone (cow bone). This bone (BioOss) is harvested from known healthy cows in Indonesia and is processed through a freeze drying procedure that renders a sterile end product containing only the mineral content of natural bone. The graft is applied to the empty hole immediately after a tooth extraction and is secured using a pledget of collagen and one or two dissolvable sutures (stitches). While the graft material has a granular form when used in this fashion (similar to the consistency of sand), it is retained in the tooth socket by the collagen pledget and sutures until it has the opportunity to begin consolidation.
I guess if you are Vegan it might make a difference....
