What is it about?
People generally consider the teeth as a waste material, and through it way after its extraction. This article emphasizes the important of human teeth, as it is the most effective biomaterials to regenerate the socket bone required to hold the natural teeth in firm condition. The processed human teeth has osteocondution, osteoinduction, and osteointegration properties, so it is considered as the alternative most valuable resource for the dental implants .

Why is it important?
This paper clearly illustrates the importance of dental biomaterials derived from human teeth. It can be used as a versatile biomaterials for the regeneration of hard tissue, socket bone to restore the dental implants.
Perspectives
The advancement of decellularization process will certainly update the functions of human dentin to restore the bone effectively without any adverse reaction after its implantation.
