Ideal grafting material is biocompatible, biodegradable, easy to handle, cost-effective, minimizes inflammation and foreign body reaction, it does not transmit diseases, and assures long-term restoration and preservation of the alveolar ridge. Dentin autograft fulfills all of these requirements. It is the only autogenous material that does not require an additional donor site. Consequently, the post-operative morbidity is minimal.
It can be utilized for socket preservation, sinus grafting, horizontal and vertical ridge augmentation.
Post extraction sockets grafted with dentin autograft don`t require a primary wound closure and membranes. Every general practitioner unexperienced in surgery can perform socket preservation utilizing dentin autograft!
After this lecture, clinicians will understand why treating extracted teeth as waste should belong to the past.
