Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of Allogenic Dentin Grafts for Alveolar Ridge Preservation

For the first time, allografts from human-extracted teeth will be prepared and evaluated in a prospective clinical trial to assess their efficacy for alveolar ridge preservation. The reconstruction and preservation of the alveolar ridge after tooth extraction are essential for future prosthetic rehabilitation. Autogenous bone grafts, while effective, are limited by donor site morbidity and insufficient graft quantity. Allogenic dentin grafts from healthy human donors present a scalable solution. This study aims to evaluate the biocompatibility and effectiveness of two types of allogenic dentin grafts-demineralized dentin allografts (DDA) and whole tooth allografts (WTA)-for alveolar ridge preservation, contributing to innovative, sustainable dental practices.
