Socket Preservation Using Autogenous Dentin

Tooth extraction leads to a substantial reduction in alveolar bone volume, with up to 25% loss within the first year and up to 40-60% within three years. This prospective randomized clinical study aims to compare four commonly used methods of alveolar ridge preservation, evaluating their effectiveness in maintaining bone volume for later prosthetic or implant rehabilitation. Alveolar dimensions will be measured using calibrated CBCT imaging pre-extraction and at six months post-extraction.
