Dentinal Grafts, a Promising Material for Alveolar Defects: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background: Post-extraction alveolar ridge is an important factor affecting dental implant restoration. Among myriads of bone grafting materials, dentinal grafts are gaining faster popularity among clinicians. Unlike conventional xenografts derived from animal sources, these autogenous materials may offer advantages in terms of biocompatibility and cost. Objective: This article aims to compare their performance with other commonly used materials, like xenografts, or natural blood clots and to examine whether they could maintain bone quality and quantity during socket healing with better properties than the rest of the graft materials in terms of implants success rate. Methods: This search was conducted in multiple medical databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Cochrane Lib
