When a tooth is removed, the bone around it (called the alveolar ridge) naturally shrinks. This study compares two bone grafting materials to find out which one better preserves bone after molar extraction: Demineralized Dentin Matrix (DDM): A material made from the patient's own extracted tooth, treated to remove minerals while keeping bone-forming proteins. Mineralized Plasmatic Matrix (MPM): A mixture of a standard bone substitute and platelet-rich plasma from the patient's blood.
