Abstract | ||||
Background: The extracted teeth have proven to be a ready source of bone substitute material and thus, they are no longer viewed as clinical leftover. Many techniques are employed to process the teeth into particles with different sizes, shapes and calcium composition. Aim: The aim of the trial is to compare autogenous tooth (AT) biomaterial and the autogenous decalcified dentin (ADD) biomaterial for their efficacy in socket preservation procedures in relation to the radiographic dentistry measured on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Methodology: A total of 12 hopeless teeth were randomly assigned into both study groups. After executing atraumatic extraction, the tooth was cleaned and milled then it was prepared into either AT or ADD with decalcification in hydrochloric acid with pH=1 then inserted in the extraction socket. Baseline CBCT and the final images taken after six months were compared for radiographic density expressed in Hounsfield units (Hu). Results: After six months, all sites achieved soft tissue closure and were filled with bone without incidents. Radiographic bone density values were 830.67±115.5 and 742.83±148.84 Hounsfield units for the AT group and the ADD group respectively without a statistical difference. Conclusions: Both types of biomaterials were similarly effective in bone healing after extraction by providing radiographic density in treated sites. | ||||
