The Use of Tooth Particles as a Biomaterial in Post-Extraction Sockets. Experimental Study in Dogs.

Abstract BACKGROUND: The topographical surficial characteristics and properties of materials can induce different cell reactions regards to the viability and adhesion according to the recent patents. The aim of this in vitro experimental study was to...

Abstract BACKGROUND: New manufacturing methods was developed to improve the tissues integration with the titanium alloy pieces. OBJECTIVE: The present in vitro study was to assess the resistance and fracture mode after applied a quasi-static compressive force on the...

Abstract BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to compare histologically the dimensional behavior of peri-implant tissues during osseointegration of immediately exposed or submerged implant placement in fresh extraction and healed sites. METHODS: Four fresh extraction...

Abstract OBJECTIVES: To investigate freshly extracted dental particulate used to graft post-extraction sockets in dogs, comparing new bone formation at experimental and control sites. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Bilateral premolars P2, P3, P4 and first mandibular molars...

Abstract Synthetic biomaterials submitted to new structural technologies have become ideal for the recovery of traumatized bone tissues and some bone substitutes such as bioactive glass, β-Tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) are being...

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to evaluate new bone formation derived from freshly crushed extracted teeth, grafted immediately in post-extraction sites in an animal model, compared with sites without graft filling, evaluated at 30 and 90 days.
