Biological Socket Preservation: Why Your Ground Up Tooth and PRF Could Be Better for Healing Than Bone Graft After Exaction: Kometa Bio-Dentin Grinder
Family Holistic Dentistry always looks for ways to support your body’s natural healing abilities while avoiding synthetic or foreign materials. We have been using the Kometa Bio-Dentin Grinder that usually allows us to use your own extracted tooth—ground up and then combined with PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) from your own blood—to preserve the socket after a tooth is removed naturally. (For PRF information, see our blog on PRF)
No Need For Foreign Bone Grafts In Many Cases
Traditionally, after a tooth is extracted, dentists mostly use bone grafting materials to fill the empty socket and preserve bone. These grafts often come from donor bone or animal sources, and while effective, they contain foreign DNA that your body must work harder to integrate.
With the Kometa grinder, we can sometimes skip synthetic or foreign graft materials. If your extracted tooth is adequate for the process, we can process it into a fine, sterile particulate that becomes a natural graft—fully recognized and accepted by your body.
When combined with PRF, which is made from a small sample of your own blood and is rich in healing cells and growth factors, the result could be a highly effective, biocompatible treatment that supports faster healing, bone regeneration, and reduced risk of complications.
The Benefits of This Natural Approach
✅ No Foreign DNA – Avoid animal-derived or donor bone grafts. Your healing material comes entirely from you.
✅ Biocompatible and Safe – Your body accepts your own tooth and PRF naturally, with less risk of inflammation or rejection.
✅ Faster, More Predictable Healing – PRF enhances healing, encouraging bone and tissue to regenerate efficiently.
✅ Preserves Your Natural Bone Structure – This is Essential for future implants or maintaining facial aesthetics.
✅ Aligned with Holistic Care – Perfect for patients seeking a biologically centered, toxin-free approach to dentistry.
