- The use of autogenous teeth for alveolar ridge preservation : a literature reviewPublication . Cenicante, João; Botelho, João; Machado, Vanessa; Mendes, José João; Mascarenhas, Paulo; Alcoforado, Gil; Santos, AlexandreAlveolar ridge resorption is a natural consequence of teeth extraction, with unpleasant aesthetic and functional consequences that might compromise a future oral rehabilitation. To minimize the biological consequences of alveolar ridge resorption, several surgical procedures have been designed, the so-called alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) techniques. One important characteristic is the concomitant use of biomaterial in ARP. In the past decade, autogenous teeth as a bone graft material in post-extraction sockets have been proposed with very interesting outcomes, yet with different protocols of preparation. Here we summarize the available evidence on autogenous teeth as a biomaterial in ARP, its different protocols and future directions.
