BONE REGENERATION IN IMPLANTOLOGY: TOOTH AS A GRAFT

From Dentistry Made Simple Dentistry Made Simple

Discuss the promising use of autologous dental tissue—specifically demineralized dentin—as a bone graft material in implantology procedures. These sources emphasize that the tooth, being "mineralized bone" with osteoinductive properties, offers an effective and resorbable alternative to traditional graft materials like xenografts and alloplasts. The text reviews clinical and histological evidence, along with detailed discussions of preparation procedures (such as grinding and demineralization protocols using devices like the Tooth Transformer), to demonstrate that dentin grafts lead to the formation of new, vital bone tissue. Furthermore, the content covers general principles of guided bone regeneration (GBR), factors affecting implant success, and the role of platelet-rich concentrates in enhancing healing.
