ABSTRACT

 Bone grafting is an appropriate solution for treatment of some cases of bone defect. Till now, different method and biomaterial has been described for bone grafting. According to structural similarities between bone tissue and tooth structure and some successful studies on application of autogenous bone graft materials, we decided to use this biomaterial to treat a bone defect resulting from tooth extraction. In this case, a healthy 36-year-old man visited us for extraction of the left mandibular first molar. In order to preserve the tooth socket, we used the patient’s own extracted teeth instead of using routine bone graft materials. The tooth powder processed by the device called the BONMAKER and placed in the socket. After 4 mouths, the radiographic evaluation showed a good bone density. Fixture placement and prosthetic restoration were done and the patient’s 5-year follow-up showed good aesthetic, excellent osseointegration and little to no bone resorption, indicating the reliability of this autogenous graft material. Keywords: Bone graft, Socket preservation, Autograft, Tooth, Implant.
