Extracted teeth are always considered as waste or debris. Tooth extraction is the most performed procedure in dentistry following cleaning and prophylaxis in small animals. The first indication of tooth extraction is advanced periodontal disease which the teeth attachments loss occurs and the teeth could not be saved. Other indications include jaw and teeth fracture. In sever and refractory stomatitis, one of the recommended treatment is extraction of either rostral or even all teeth. Therefore, lots of extracted teeth as tissue similar to bone is available. In this article the role of extracted teeth in bone defects as readily available bone graft and regarded existed studies in literature will be reviewed.

Canids are heterodont and diphyodont animals, which most of adult canids have 42 permanent teeth. Nowadays, attention to the oral and dental disorders in pets has gained a special region in veterinary medicine and on the top of these problems can be referred to dental infections and other periodontal diseases. Anatomy and positioning of teeth and periodontal diseases also could be observed by diagnostic imaging techniques included radiography and CT-scan. Radiography is an effective method for dental examination with low-cost and fast execution times and can be performed during surgery. Although, computed tomography is high contrasted method in oral cavity examination that facilitates the diagnosis of multiple disease. Precise and detailed imaging of the region of interest even before changes become clinically apparent, the reduced examination time than oral radiography, 3D imaging in different views, but expensiveness and risks associated with anesthesia may be the restrictive factors.
