Background:
Alveolar bone loss can occur as a result of aggressive maneuvering due to iatrogenic trauma during teeth extraction or due to normal post-extraction socket healing. Tooth if used as a whole grafting material then successful osteoconductive remodeling can be expected because low-crystalline apatite is the main minerals in bone tissue. A study was conducted in the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery focused on the potential for osteoconduction, osteoinduction, and osteogenesis by growth factors in the tooth and related histogenesis between the tooth and bone. Radiographic evaluation of alveolar ridge preservation was performed using a 3D imaging technique as well as histologically using Autogenous fresh mineralized tooth graft prepared at the chairside.
Results:
A total of 30 patients were included in the study. The data was subjected to statistical analysis and the comparison of quantitative data was done using paired t-test.
Conclusion:
The outcome of this study suggests that chair side autogenous tooth graft can be used for socket survival, sinus and ridge augmentation as it is less time consuming, easy to prepare, with lower bone resorption speed, osteoinduction, osteoconduction, osteogenetic properties, and excellent primary implant stability.
