Tooth Root-Derived Graft Promotes Complete Bone Replacement in Alveolar Ridge Preservation: Comparative Study with a Collagenic Xenograft in Dogs
Tooth-derived grafts promoted an almost complete replacement by vital bone with minimal residual material, whereas xenografts provided slightly better buccal contour preservation but resulted in regenerated tissues containing persistent graft particles. The biological differences observed may have implications for subsequent implant placement.
