Abstract
Objectives: Recently, there has been great interest in teeth and their derivatives as suitable substrates for the treatment of alveolar bone defects. This retrospective study evaluates the clinical and radiographic outcomes of implants inserted in a site that underwent GBR procedure using a tooth derivate material.
Materials and methods: A total of 21 patients received a GBR using an autologous extracted tooth. Four months after the GBR techniques, the implants were inserted and were followed for an average of 5.28 + -1.10 years after loading. The X-ray was analyzed after a period of 63.36 + -13.2 months for a total follow-up period.
Results: A total of 28 implants were inserted. All the implants were clinically functional after the follow-up period. The average bone loss from the X-ray images was 0.1208 + -0.1307.
Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, the use of a tooth as a graft using a tooth transformer device guarantees the production of bone and maintenance over time.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Functional Biomaterials (JFB, ISSN 2079-4983) is an international and interdisciplinary scientific journal that publishes regular research papers (articles), reviews and short communications about applications of materials for biomedical use. JFB covers subjects from chemistry, pharmacy, biology, physics over to engineering. The journal focuses on the preparation, performance and use of functional biomaterials in biomedical devices and their behaviour in physiological environments. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Several topical special issues will be published. Scope: adhesion, adsorption, biocompatibility, biohybrid materials, bio-inert materials, biomaterials, biomedical devices, biomimetic materials, bone repair, cardiovascular devices, ceramics, composite materials, dental implants, dental materials, drug delivery systems, functional biopolymers, glasses, hyper branched polymers, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), nanomedicine, nanoparticles, nanotechnology, natural materials, self-assembly smart materials, stimuli responsive materials, surface modification, tissue devices, tissue engineering, tissue-derived materials, urological devices.
