This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of placing a cortical lamina between the elevated flap and buccal bone plate following tooth extraction for preserving alveolar ridge dimensions. Forty patients will be randomly assigned to either the test group (lamina placement) or control (no intervention). Changes in ridge width and height will be assessed using CBCT and 3D digital models after six months.
