Vital root retention in humans: a final report

D G Garver, R K Fenster

    The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry
    |April 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Vital root retention in humans is a viable method for preserving alveolar bone ridge tissues. This research protocol, developed from animal studies, demonstrates its effectiveness in retaining bone compared to complete tooth loss.

    Area of Science:

    • Dental research
    • Oral surgery
    • Regenerative medicine

    Background:

    • A research protocol for submucosal vital root retention in humans has been developed.
    • This protocol is based on laboratory animal studies.
    • Previous articles have detailed procedures, patient management, and statistical results.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a research protocol for submucosal vital root retention in humans.
    • To report on procedures, patient management, and statistical results.
    • To explain techniques and provide a flowchart for tooth root retention and alveolar ridge preservation.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a research protocol based on animal studies.
    • Detailed reporting of procedures and patient management.
    • Explanation of a flowchart for tooth root retention and alveolar ridge preservation.

    Main Results:

    • Vital root retention appears to be a valid means of retaining residual bony ridge tissues.
    • It retains bony ridge tissues to a greater degree than when patients are rendered totally edentulous.

    Conclusions:

    • Vital root retention is a promising technique for preserving alveolar bone.
    • Further investigations are suggested for this method.
