In the literature, autogenous dentin is considered a possible alternative to bone substitute materials and autologous bone for certain indications. The aim of this proof-of-concept study was to use autogenous dentin for lateral ridge augmentation. In the present retrospective study, autogenous dentin slices were obtained from teeth and used for the reconstruction of lateral ridge defects (tooth-shell technique (TST): 28 patients (15 females, 13 males) with 34 regions and 38 implants). The bone-shell technique (BST) according to Khoury (31 patients (16 females, 15 males) with 32 regions and 41 implants) on autogenous bone served as the control. Implants were placed simultaneously in both cases. Follow-up was made 3 months after implantation. Target parameters during this period were clinical complications, horizontal hard tissue loss, osseointegration, and integrity of the buccal lamella. The prosthetic restoration with a fixed denture was carried out after 5 months. The total observation period was 5 months. A total of seven complications occurred. Of these, three implants were affected by wound dehiscences (TST: 1, BST: 2) and four by inflammations (TST: 0, BST: 4). There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of the total number of complications. One implant with TST exhibited a horizontal hard tissue loss of 1 mm and one with BST of 0.5 mm. Other implants were not affected by hard tissue loss. There were no significant differences between the two groups. Integrity of the buccal lamella was preserved in all implants. All implants were completely osseointegrated in TST and BST. All implants could be prosthetically restored with a fixed denture 5 months after augmentation. TST showed results comparable to those of the BST. Dentin can therefore serve as an alternative material to avoid bone harvesting procedures and thus reduce postoperative discomfort of patients.

Alveolar ridge augmentation can be completed with various types of bone augmentation materials (autogenous, allograft, xenograft, and alloplast). Currently, autogenous bone is labeled as the “gold standard” because of faster healing times and integration between native and foreign bone. No systematic review has currently determined whether there is a difference in implant success between various bone augmentation materials. The purpose of this article was to systematically review comparative human studies of vertical and horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation comparing different types of bone graft materials (autogenous, allograft, xenograft, and alloplast). A MEDLINE search was conducted under the 3 search concepts of bone augmentation, dental implants, and alveolar ridge augmentation. Studies pertaining to socket grafts or sinus lifts were excluded. Case reports, small case series, and review papers were excluded. A bias assessment tool was applied to the final articles. Overall, 219 articles resulted from the initial search, and 9 articles were included for final analysis. There were no discernible differences in implant success between bone augmentation materials. Generally, patients preferred nonautogenous bone sources as there were fewer hospital days, less pain, and better recovery time. Two articles had industrial support; however, conclusions of whether that support influenced the outcomes could not be determined. Future comparative studies should compare nonautogenous bone sources and have longer follow-up times.

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of lateral ridge augmentation in 36 patients with severely atrophic alveolar ridge using allogeneic bone grafts in a framework technique. A thinned allogeneic cortical graft was screwed to the alveolar ridge, leaving a hollow space that was filled with particulated allogeneic cortical bone. Thirty-six patients who received surgical lateral block augmentation using allogeneic bone grafts were involved in this study. Implants were placed in a second session after a mean time of 6.3 months. The surgical technique and the reasons for failure of surgery in three patients are described. Additionally, properties of allogeneic bone grafts are reviewed. In 33 patients, dental implants were successfully installed and continued to be well maintained at the last follow-up (91.7% success). In three patients, dental implants could not be installed (8.3% failure) as the graft was lost because of wound dehiscence; however, repeat surgery was successfully carried out in all three. The use of allogeneic bone grafts in lateral ridge augmentation of the maxilla and mandible showed successful clinical results. It seems to be a reliable material for reconstructing a severely atrophic alveolar ridge. It presents a good alternative to autogenous bone regarding augmentation because it offers good ossification, less morbidity, unlimited availability and shorter duration of surgery, and lower costs.
