Alveolar bone resorption is a common complication after tooth extraction, leading to insufficient bone quality and volume that impairs subsequent implant restoration. To address this issue, bone graft materials have become an essential therapeutic option. As a bone graft material derived from the patient’s own teeth, autologous tooth bone powder has emerged as a research hotspot in the field due to its unique advantages, including convenient harvesting and excellent biocompatibility. This review summarizes the current research status of autologous teeth in terms of osteogenic basis, preparation methods, and clinical applications, aiming to provide clear theoretical guidance for clinical practice.
