Radiographic evaluation of bone healing in postextraction sockets following bone grafting using autogenous dentin and beta-tricalcium phosphate: A review

Evidence-based study shows that auto-tooth bone graft material supports excellent bone regeneration by its osteoinduction and osteoconduction capacity. It consists of 5% organic and 4% inorganic substances. In inorganic substances, hydroxyapatite has the property of combining and dissociating calcium and phosphate as those of bone. Organic substances also contain bone morphogenetic protein and protein with osteoinduction capacity and Type I collagen. This review was conducted for the evaluation of density of bone formation after the placement of autogenous dentin and beta-tricalcium phosphate radiographically using grayscale analysis. Thus, we can conclude that autogenous dentin bone graft can be used as an alternative bone graft for socket preservation as it is readily available and it also heals faster.
