Effectiveness of two regeneration materials in autogenous tooth transplantation in larger sockets:an experimental study in beagle dogs

Abstract

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of regenerous tissue and bone substitute in autogenous tooth transplantation in the larger recipient socket. Methods In 3 Beagle dogs, 18 incisors were transplanted to the recipient sockets, 2 mm wider mesio-distally. The regenerous tissue group, the bone substitute group and the control group contained 7, 7 and 4 teeth respectively. No additional material was used in control group. Clinical and radiographic examinations were done every month and were sacrificed 3 months later. Subsequently, decalcified sections were prepared for routine histological evaluation. Ordinal scores for root surface resorption were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results All donor teeth survived. A statistically significant difference was found among all three treatment groups ( P = 0.0001). The proliferating tissue in space positively affected the periodontal healing without any resorption. Inflammatory resorption of the root surface and formation of new bone were observed in the bone substitute group. Surface resorptions of the roots were found in the control group. Conclusion Proliferating tissues enhance the regeneration of periodontal tissues in larger recipient sockets and prevent root resorption. Sinbone HT is beneficial for the stabilization of the transplanted teeth in larger sockets.
