Summary
Autogenous tooth grafting material (ATGM) shows promise as a safe and effective option for maxillary sinus augmentation. Further research is needed due to limited evidence and study heterogeneity.
Area of Science:
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Regenerative Dentistry
- Biomaterials Science
Background:
- Maxillary sinus augmentation is a common procedure to increase bone volume for dental implants.
- Various bone substitutes are available, but autogenous tooth grafting material (ATGM) is increasingly explored.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review the safety and efficacy of ATGM compared to other bone substitutes for maxillary sinus augmentation.
- To evaluate histomorphometric, histological, implant stability, complication, and radiographic outcomes.
Main Methods:
- Systematic electronic and manual search of four databases (Medline/PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library).
- Inclusion of human clinical studies with at least four patients, published before July 31, 2024.
- Risk of bias assessment using Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist.
Main Results:
- Seven studies with 128 participants and 192 implants were included in the descriptive analysis.
- Meta-analysis was not feasible due to significant study heterogeneity.
- ATGM demonstrated feasibility and safety as a grafting material in the reviewed studies.
Conclusions:
- Autogenous tooth grafting material (ATGM) presents a viable and safe alternative for maxillary sinus augmentation.
- The current scientific evidence is limited, and study heterogeneity necessitates cautious interpretation of results.
