APDDM mixed with i-PRF as a graft material for bone regeneration - A case report.

ABSTRACT

Demineralized dentine matrix (DDM) has both osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties, and has porous structure which helps in cell and blood vessel penetration and the release of various growth factors from the dentinal tubules. The first human dentine autograft case was done in 2002 in Japan for maxillary sinus lifting. In this clinical report, we use a hand-operated order made stainless steel apparatus to crush the tooth and prepare the DDM chair side. Chemical treatment of DDM particulate was done for demineralization and sterilisation purpose, and used immediately as a graft material for socket preservation. Dentascan after 4 month showed remarkable bone at the site of grafting and implant was placed. The patient was restored successfully with their own DDM and implant-supported prosthesis.
