Abstract

We present some clinical cases of autogenous tooth graft - a modern method in which the extracted teeth are processed into a demineralised dentin matrix (DDM) and are then immediately transplanted into the post-extraction sockets or bone defects.

Highlights

A good bone graft material should have three properties: 1) osteoconduction, which provides the scaffold for bone regeneration; 2) osteoinduction, which promotes formation of bone from undifferentiated cells and preosteoblasts; 3) osteogenesis, the induction of cells contained in the graft to stimulate bone regeneration.[1]
A powder material with a particle size between 200 and 1000 nm is obtained (Figs 2A, 2B). It is placed in a special container in the Bon Maker device, of the Auto-Tooth Bone Graft System, manufactured by the company Korea Dental Solution (Korea, 2012)
With a view to alveolar bone prevention and scheduled implantation, tooth 26 was extracted and auto-tooth bone (ATB) graft material was obtained according to the described protocol

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Various graft materials are used for reconstruction of alveolar bone defects in clinical practice. A powder material with a particle size between 200 and 1000 nm is obtained (Figs 2A, 2B) It is placed in a special container in the Bon Maker device, of the Auto-Tooth Bone Graft System, manufactured by the company Korea Dental Solution (Korea, 2012). Three months after the placement of the ATB graft material, a follow-up radiograph was performed – it showed that the newly formed bone around the implant had good density characteristics and height, and no significant alveolar crest resorption was found (Fig. 3H). Three months after the implant placement, a follow-up radiograph was performed, which showed that the newly formed bone around the implant had good density characteristics, and no significant alveolar crest resorption was found (Fig. 6). With a view to alveolar bone prevention and scheduled implantation, tooth 26 was extracted and ATB graft material was obtained according to the described protocol. An implant was placed in that area, which showed satisfactory levels of the stability measured (74 ISQ) (Fig. 8B)
