Summary
Tooth grafts show promise for periodontal regeneration in intrabony defects, a novel application. This case report details successful bone fill and graft integration, warranting further investigation with larger patient groups.
Area of Science:
- Periodontal regeneration
- Dental biomaterials
- Tissue engineering
Background:
- Tooth material is a validated bone graft substitute in GBR and sinus augmentation.
- Its application in periodontal intrabony defects remains undocumented.
Observation:
- A case report detailing the use of a tooth graft in a periodontal intrabony defect.
- Postoperative evaluation using CBCT at 26 weeks.
Findings:
- The tooth graft demonstrated homogeneous incorporation within the defect.
- Clinical assessments indicated significant bone fill, suggesting successful periodontal regeneration.
Implications:
- This case suggests tooth material is a viable option for periodontal intrabony defects.
- Larger sample size studies are needed to confirm these findings and establish clinical efficacy.

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...
