Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Bone augmentation material using permanent teeth are confirmed in many articles to provide good histological and clinical results. Advances in osteoconduction and osteoinduction, low cost of material, no risk of disease transmission and elimination of foreign body reaction are important aspects not only to the clinician but to patient as well. Many techniques and devices to obtain graft material for bone augmentation out of teeth are found in the literature. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The wisdom teeth crush technique developed in our office and described in this case report is simple and no specific devices for teeth grinding were used. The graft material was obtained from impacted intact wisdom teeth without chemical conditioning of the particles with preservation of the dental pulp and the cells found in it. This study presents crushed autologous maxillary wisdom tooth as filling material in two bone defects in premaxilla caused by cysts removal. RESULTS: The clinical results and Panoramic X-ray evaluation at three months postoperatively were very promising. CONCLUSIONS: Although further clinical researches are necessary to evaluate this substitutive for bone augmentation technique, the authors believe it can be safely used by oral/maxillofacial surgeons. Key words:Particulated wisdom tooth, autologous augmentation, bone substitutes, wisdom teeth crush technique. Copyright:
