• Resumen

  • Dimensional changes in alveolar height and width occur after tooth extraction, which leads to reduced function for patients and makes it difficult for professionals to place dental implants. To minimize such bone loss, a variety of grafting materials are used, among which autogenous grafts stand out for their ability to foster osteogenesis, osteoconduction and osteoinduction. The use of dentin as an autogenous graft material appeared in the professional literature for the first time in 2010, demonstrating that this material can be an effective therapeutic alternative to other graft materials, as it fosters osteoconduction and osteoinduction, and leads to new bone formation in 46-87% of the area treated with an autogenous dentin graft 3 months after use. The latest systematic review, published in 2018, concluded that implants placed in regenerated areas where dentin was used as graft material were observed to have survival rates of 97.7% after one year, suggesting this new material can be an effective alternative offering promising results, although further research is needed in this regard.
