Tooth Anatomy

Tooth Anatomy

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...

Summary

Sticky Tooth (ST) and Sticky Bone (SB) effectively regenerate maxillary bone defects. ST demonstrated faster bone healing than SB derived from equine or human sources, with excellent tissue integration and no inflammation observed.

Area of Science:

Biomaterials Science
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Regenerative Medicine

Background:

Maxillary alveolar ridge defects pose challenges for dental implant placement.
Biomaterials are crucial for successful bone regeneration in the maxilla.
Comparing novel biomaterials like Sticky Tooth (ST) and Sticky Bone (SB) is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

To histologically compare the efficacy of Sticky Tooth (ST) and Sticky Bone (SB) in maxillary bone defect regeneration.
To evaluate ST derived from ground teeth against SB from equine bone and human allografts.

Main Methods:

Forty patients received maxillary alveolar ridge regeneration using four biomaterials: ST (BonMaker), ST (Smart Dentin Grinder), equine SB, and human allograft SB.
Preoperative, post-regeneration, and follow-up CBCT imaging was performed.
Histological and quantitative analysis of biopsy samples at four months post-regeneration.

Main Results:

All 40 patients achieved successful alveolar ridge regeneration.
Histological examination revealed excellent integration of biomaterials with bone tissue.
No signs of inflammation were observed in any treatment group.

Conclusions:

Both Sticky Tooth (ST) and Sticky Bone (SB) are effective biomaterials for maxillary bone regeneration.
Sticky Tooth (ST) showed a significantly faster bone healing process compared to equine xenograft and human allograft Sticky Bone (SB).
These findings support the use of ST and SB in alveolar ridge augmentation procedures.
