Summary
This study shows that using autogenous tooth roots for lateral socket augmentation and dental implant placement leads to stable peri-implant tissues in the short term. This technique offers a viable option for managing deficient extraction sockets.
Area of Science:
- Dental Implantology
- Periodontology
- Oral Surgery
Background:
- Deficient extraction sockets often require bone augmentation before dental implant placement.
- Autogenous tooth roots (TR) present a potential biomaterial for lateral augmentation.
- Two-stage implant placement is a common approach for achieving osseointegration.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the short-term clinical outcomes of lateral socket augmentation using autogenous tooth roots (TR).
- To assess the efficacy of this technique in conjunction with two-stage dental implant placement.
Main Methods:
- Lateral augmentation with non-retainable tooth roots was performed on 13 patients with deficient extraction sockets.
- Titanium implants were placed after a 6-month submerged healing period.
- Clinical parameters including bleeding on probing (BOP), probing pocket depth (PD), mucosal recession (MR), and clinical attachment level (CAL) were measured.
Main Results:
- No significant changes in mean BOP, PD, MR, or CAL were observed at 26 weeks post-loading.
- The mean changes in BOP, PD, MR, and CAL were within clinically acceptable ranges.
- No significant correlation was found between initial ridge width gain and changes in BOP and PD.
Conclusions:
- Lateral augmentation using autogenous tooth roots provides stable peri-implant tissues in the short term.
- This surgical approach appears to be a predictable method for managing deficient extraction sockets prior to implant placement.
