If the extraction site(s) is left untreated for a long period of time, alveolar ridge resorption will take place. Therefore, it is important to preserve the alveolar ridge dimensions until the treatment to restore the edentulous area is to be carried out alveolar bone grafting, alveolar ridge augmentation, bone substitutes, dental implants, tooth extraction
Conditions
Interventions
Following tooth extraction, graft processing will be done in the raw tooth particles (RTP) group as the following: extracted teeth will be dried by air and examined. If tooth decay is present, it will
