The primary objective of the present study is to clinically and radiographically evaluate the efficacy of autogenous tooth graft obtained from bone mill and dental grinder to preserve alveolar ridge dimensions in extraction sockets.
Accordingly, teeth will be used as a test material to allow for comparative tests after processing it in the automated milling system (AMS). The material will be moistened and then placed in toto into the extraction sockets to generate particles at settings 1 (500 RPM for 30s) or 2 (900 RPM for 30s) to generate MS and SS respectively ((SS group; 0.5-0.8 mm) and medium size (MS group; 1.0-1.2 mm)).

After atraumatic extraction of the tooth, autogenous dentin particles are made with the help of a device - dentin grinder from the separated root and these particles are incorporated into the extraction socket

RECRUITINGBone fill
The radiograph obtained at 3 and 6 months will be subtracted from the radiograph taken at the baseline by using commercially available image processing software (Adobe Photoshop® 6.0, Adobe Systems, San Jose, USA). After digital subtraction, the digitized and excluded residual bone height will be transferred to open source software for area calculation (ImageJ®, Research Services Branch, NIH, Bethesda, Maryland, USA) for area calculation. The area of the layer will be calculated (in mm2) by initially enclosing the entire area with the rectangular selection tool and then by using Analyze\>Analyze Particles tool.
Time frame: Baseline to 6months
Bone density
Radiographs will be taken with digitalized RVG machine (DX 3000, DEXCOWN portable dental X-ray system) at 60Kvp/2Ma with inactive interface. RVG images taken at baseline and 6 months will be utilized to evaluate bone mineral density through Hounsfield units (HU).
Time frame: Baseline to 6months
