Smart Dentin Grinder

Subheader

Integrated Dental Systems introduces the Smart Dentin Grinder, which enables dentists and staff to regenerate extracted teeth into autogenous bone graft.

Human dentin is proven to provide the ideal form of grafting because it has the same properties as cortical bone. You'll get higher osseointegration and osteogenic performance due to the natural ankylosis process of teeth, and be able to create chairside grafts at a fraction of the cost of xenograft, allograft, and synthetic grafts—in less than 15 minutes. Most importantly, you will achieve excellent esthetic results that are sustainable for years due to slow resorption.

While the chemical composition of dentin is similar to that of the human bone, dentin is more solid and, combining with ankylosis, it provides greater and faster stability and preservation of the alveolar ridge. As a result, it allows for early loading after grafting. Since the graft is made from the patient's own teeth, there's no risk of disease transmission.

In most cases after tooth extraction, alveolar bone undergoes remodeling, but the net bone loss endangers esthetic reconstruction. The clinical augmentation of bone currently involves the use of autogenous or allogeneic bone grafts and synthetic materials, all of which are associated with constraints.

Today, extracted teeth that carry bacterial plaques are considered a clinical waste and are disposed of in medical biohazard bags. Experts estimate that more than 20 million teeth are extracted each year in the United States alone.

In the past, extracted teeth were sometimes used as auto-transplants and hetero-transplants after cleaning and sterilization procedures. In fact, avulsed teeth are routinely implanted back into their sockets. They undergo ankylosis and their roots become grafts that are slowly and gradually replaced by bone, in a process similar to autologous bone grafts. Even though most of the tooth structure is composed of dentin, which is similar to cortical bone's composition, it has not been employed routinely as a bone substitute in humans. Also, because dentin particles are cell-free mineralized matrix, they maintain mechanical stability, allowing early loading after grafting in fresh sockets and bone defects.

Therefore, autogenous dentin is the best bone-graft material for socket preservation and alveolar bone augmentation. This is why the new Smart Dentin Grinder is such a powerful and beneficial tool for your practice, as extracted teeth can be transformed into bacteria-free particulate dentin for immediate grafting.
