Abstract: Objective: To observe the clinical effect of autogenous dentin slices technique in the case of severe shortage of horizontal alveolar bone. Methods: Dentin slices which made from useless autologous teeth or third molars were combined with bone alternative materials to reconstruct the horizontal alveolar bone defects. The implants were delay implanted. Clinical prognosis, imaging comparison, implant survival rate, and patient satisfaction were assessed after the bone augmentation surgery. Results: The bone contour recovered well, the bone width in the bone defect area increased significantly, the implant obtained good osseointegration, the implant survival rate was 100% during the observation period, and the patient's satisfaction was high. Conclusion: The dentin slices technique made a good performance in the bone horizontal augmentation, which is a potential new way to reconstruct bone defect.
