Abstract

Abstract
Objectives: Dentin block can be effective option in managing the lateral bone defect site indicated for
implant placement. The Present study evaluates outcome of clinical use of the autogenous dentin
block graft in lateral ridge augmentation and assess increase of the width of the alveolar ridge.
Material and methods: The Eight patients were included in one group and all of them were subjected
to A full-thickness muco-periosteal flap. The extracted tooth was trimmed to adapt very closely over
the recipient bone.The recipient site was subsequently decorticated. The dentin block was stabilized with
one titanium mini screw of suitable length. After 6 months, the ridge width and Bone density were
recorded.
Results: Ridge width: There was a statistically significant increase in ridge width after 6 month. The
gain was 3.49 ± 0.83. Bone Density, Mean bone density was 611.38 ± 257.40 after 6 month.
Conclusion: Dentin block can be used as a grafting material. There is no donor site morbidity and this
is considered one of advantages of this grafting material.
