Summary
Autogenous tooth bone graft material (AutoBT) shows promise for stimulating bone growth in severe periodontitis cases during socket preservation. Radiomics analysis confirms AutoBT
Area of Science:
- Dental surgery
- Periodontology
- Radiology
Background:
- Alveolar ridge preservation often utilizes autogenous tooth bone graft material (AutoBT).
- Severe periodontitis presents challenges for socket preservation and bone regeneration.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the bone growth stimulation potential of AutoBT using a radiomics approach.
- To assess AutoBT's efficacy in socket preservation for severe periodontal cases.
Main Methods:
- A retrospective radiomics analysis was performed on 25 patients with severe periodontitis.
- 3D CBCT and 2D X-ray scans were obtained pre-surgery and at 6 months post-surgery.
- Maxillary and mandibular bone height changes were analyzed at specific crestal sites.
Main Results:
- Radiomics analysis indicated significant local alveolar height increase and high bone density.
- Specific measurements showed bone height changes in both maxilla and mandible post-AutoBT grafting.
Conclusions:
- Autogenous tooth bone graft material (AutoBT) can serve as an effective bone substitute.
- AutoBT is a viable option for socket preservation in patients with severe periodontitis.
