Development of a novel bone grafting material using autogenous teeth

We developed a novel bone grafting material that incorporates autogenous teeth (AutoBT), and provided the basis for its clinical application. AutoBT contains organic and inorganic mineral components and is prepared from autogenous grafting material, thus eliminating the risk of an immune reaction that may lead to rejection. AutoBT was used at the time of implant placement, simultaneously with osteoinduction surgery, and excellent bony healing by osteoinduction and osteoconduction was confirmed.
