Extracted Tooth: Can it be A Bone Graft Substitute?

Authored by In-Woong Um

This article introduces the use of Demineralized Dentin Matrix (DDM) scaffold, which are fabricated from the patient’s own extracted tooth to repair the alveolar bone defect under the view point of clinical implant dentistry. DDM is natural collagen based scaffold with similar organic and inorganic component of autogenous bone. The possibilities of DDM as bone graft substitute are compared to well-known demineralized bone matrix (DBM) which has a little limitations. Based on in vitro and in vivo studies on DDM, clinical applications of DDM as three dimensional scaffolds for alveolar bone regeneration have shown predictability as well as possibilities of future advancement to the carrier of growth factors and stem cells.
