Immediate Autogenous Bone Transplantation Using a Novel Kinetic Bioactive Screw 3D Design as a Dental Implant

Abstract

The restoration of osseous defects is accomplished by bone grafts and bone substitutes, which are also called biomaterials. Autogenous grafts, which are derived from the same individual, can retain the viability of cells, mainly the osteoblasts and osteoprogenitor stem cells, and they do not lead to an immunologic response, which is known as the gold standard for bone grafts. There are both different techniques and devices that can be used to obtain bone grafts according to the needs of the patients, the location, and the size of the bone defect. Here, an innovative technique is presented in which the patient’s own bone is removed from the trigone retromolar region of the mandible and is inserted into a dental alveolus after the extraction and immediate insertion of an innovative dental implant, the BKS. The first step of the technique creates the surgical alveolus; the second step perforates the BKS in the retromolar region, and shortly after, the BKS containing the bone to be grafted is removed; the third step screws the BKS bone that collects in the created surgical alveolus. Experimental studies have shown the feasibility and practicality of this new technique and the new dental implant model for autogenous transplants.
