Dentin grafts are categorized into mineralized dentin, partially demineralized dentin matrix (PDDM), and demineralized dentin matrix (DDM). Mineralized dentin can be obtained from a dentin grinder and was found to be less effective in bone formation, while DDM is biocompatible and osteoinductive. Thus, PDDM which requires a partial demineralization process is an interesting point of research to be studied for its ability for contour augmentation in the esthetic zone.
