Dentin as a suitable bone substitute comparable to ß-TCP—an experimental study in mice

Autogenous tooth roots for lateral extraction socket augmentation and staged implant placement. A prospective observational study

“…When interpreting these data, it must be realized this is the first clinical study on lateral augmentation of deficient extraction sockets using TRs. The observation that dentin reveals a high osteogenic potential has also been demonstrated in previous animal studies employing various models for osseous defect regeneration (Andersson, ; Andersson, Ramzi, & Joseph, ; Atiya, Shanmuhasuntharam, Huat, Abdulrazzak, & Oon, ; Bormann et al, ; Catanzaro‐Guimaraes, Catanzaro Guimaraes, Garcia, & Alle, ; Qin et al, ). Apart from their proven potential to serve as a biological matrix, it is impossible to estimate to what extend TR grafts may also have contributed to wound healing by preventing a soft tissue collapse to the dehiscence defect at some of the extraction sites investigated.…”

Using rigidly fixed autogenous tooth graft to repair bone defect: an animal model

“…The scheme of bone remodeling process is illustrated in Fig. c according to the histological observation . It was found that the bone contact rate of the first 3 months was much lower than that of 6 months.…”

Efficacy of autogenous tooth roots for lateral alveolar ridge augmentation and staged implant placement. A prospective controlled clinical study

“…Various experimental studies provide evidence that extracted teeth reveals a structural and biological potential to support osseous defect regeneration (Andersson, ; Andersson, Ramzi, & Joseph, ; Atiya, Shanmuhasuntharam, Huat, Abdulrazzak, & Oon, ; Bormann et al., ; Catanzaro‐Guimaraes, Catanzaro Guimaraes, Garcia, & Alle, ; Qin et al., ). This was particularly true for dentin, which constitutes about 90% Type I collagen, and a similar anorganic (69.3% vs. 62%) and organic (25% vs. 17.5%) composition as bone (Brudevold, Steadman, & Smith, ; Leonhardt ; Linde, ).…”
