Abstract :

Several bone graft materials have been used over time for treating periodontal defects. Though autogenous bone is still considered the gold standard for bone augmentation, it has some disadvantages including donor site morbidity and limited source1 along with high resorption rates up to 50%. Other bone graft materials such as allografts, xenografts, and alloplastic bone grafts have some disadvantages where allografts lack osteoproliferation and carry the risk of disease transmission, and xenografts and alloplasts only show osteoconduction2.Therefore, development of an alternative graft material that surpasses all these limitations is expected. Recently, bone graft materials using permanent teeth have come into light, and clinical and histological outcomes of this material have been confirmed in dental procedures by various studies2,3 . Normally extracted tooth is considered as clinical waste but they can be used as a graft in various situations to treat the alveolar bone defects. The current review focuses on using dentin as a bone graft material in the field of periodontics. Based on the potentials of osteoconduction, osteoinduction and osteogenesis through growth factors in tooth and similar histogenesis between tooth and bone autogenous dentin can be used as a bone substitute for regeneration alveolar defects
