Procedure: Tooth is extracted, then A-PRF+ is placed inside the socket. After that the ridge dimensions is asses clinically at the baseline) in addition to clinical assessment of the gingival biotype at the baseline. Then patients will be divided into 2 groups: Group 1: 50% of patients will have recurrent Liquid-PRF injections inside the extraction socket every 2 weeks (A-PRF+, followed by recurrent Liquid-PRF) Group 2: 50% of patients without recurrent (just A-PRF+) After 3 months from extraction: both groups will be assessed clinically (gingival biotype) \& (Ridge dimensions) in order to assess the role of recurrent application of Liquid-PRF on these parameters.
In this study, we will select 20 patients who need a simple tooth extraction, then determine the gingival biotype, take a blood sample to prepare A-PRF+ (centrifugation of the patient's blood for 8 min at 1300 rpm using red caps tubes), then do the extraction. After that, A-PRF+ is prepared and inserted into the extraction socket, and sutured using horizontal mattress suturing technique. After the clinical assessment of the ridge dimensions at the baseline Then patients will be divided into 2 groups: Group 1: 10 patients will have recurrent Liquid-PRF injections inside the extraction socket every 2 weeks (A-PRF+, followed by recurrent Liquid-PRF) Liquid-PRF preparation: Centrifugation of the patient's blood for 8 min at 2500 rpm using white caps tubes. Group 2: 10 patients without recurrent application of Liquid-PRF (just A-PRF+) After 3 months from extraction: both groups will be assessed clinically (gingival biotype) \& (Ridge dimensions) in order to evaluate the effect of recurrent application of Liquid-PRF on these parameters. Assessment method: for Hard tissue evaluation (Bone): we assess the dimensions clinically For soft tissue: we will use a periodontal probe to assess the gingival thickness after giving local anesthesia. \--------------------------------------------- Selection Criteria INCLUSION CRITERIA: 1.

Liquid platelet-rich fibrin is prepared from the patient's blood and injected into the extraction socket every two weeks (up to 3 months = Just 4 times of application)
A-PRF+ is placed into the extraction socket immediately after tooth extraction

Ridge dimensions
assessment of ridge dimensions 3 months after intervention for both groups. At the baseline it was assessed clinically. After 3 months, the flap was released and the ridge width and height were assessed clinically.
Time frame: 3 months
Gingival biotype
assessment of gingival biotype 3 months after intervention according to gingival thickness (using periodontal probe: if \<1 mm = Thin, while if \>1 =Thick).
Time frame: 3 months
