This present feasibility study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the preservation by lyophilization of processed dentin. Thus, the frozen stored processed dentin matrix (FST: 19 patients with 26 implants) was re-examined with that of processed teeth used immediately after extraction (IUT: 23 patients with 32 implants). Parameters of biological complications, horizontal hard tissue loss, osseointegration, and buccal lamella integrity were used for evaluation. For complications, the observation period was 5 months. Only one graft was lost (IUT group). In the area of minor complications, without the loss of an implant or augmentation, there were two cases of wound dehiscence and one case with inflammation and suppuration (IUT: n = 3, FST: n = 0). Osseointegration and integrity of the buccal lamella were present in all implants without exception. Statistically, there was no difference between the groups studied for the mean resorption of the crestal width and the buccal lamella. Results of this study show that prepared autologous dentin preserved with a conventional freezer had no disadvantage compared to immediately use autologous dentin in terms of complications and graft resorption in the context of TST.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/bioengineering10040456","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,10]],"date-time":"2023-04-10T03:24:18Z","timestamp":1681097058000},"page":"456","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Frozen Stored Teeth: Autogenous Dentin as an Alternative Augmentation Material in Dentistry"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8841-2744","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael","family":"Korsch","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dental Academy for Continuing Professional Development, Karlsruhe, Lorenzstrasse 7, 76135 Karlsruhe, Germany"},{"name":"Clinic of Operative Dentistry, Periodontology and Preventive Dentistry, University Hospital, Saarland University, Building 73, 66421 Homburg, Germany"},{"name":"Private Practice, Center for Implantology and Oral Surgery, Berliner Str. 41, 69120 Heidelberg, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6938-643X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kurt Werner","family":"Alt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center of Natural and Cultural Human History, Danube Private University, Steiner Landstrasse 124, 3500 Krems-Stein, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-0524-3639","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Frederick Reza","family":"Mock","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Private Practice, Practice for Dentistry, Oral Surgery and Implantology, Marienstrasse 9, 66287 Quierschied, Germany"},{"name":"Private Practice, 32 Route de Luxembourg, 6130 Junglinster, Luxembourg"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jdent.2016.03.010","article-title":"Comparative effectiveness of natural and synthetic bone grafts in oral and maxillofacial surgery prior to insertion of dental implants: Systematic review and network meta-analysis of parallel and cluster randomized controlled trials","volume":"48","author":"Papageorgiou","year":"2016","journal-title":"J.
