The study aimed to investigate clinical effect of autogenous dentin graft on patients following mandibular wisdom tooth extraction. The primary outcomes are pain, swelling, trismus and soft tissue healing index within one week after surgery. The investigators also measured periodontal healing of distal aspect of the adjacent second molar up to 2 year after the surgery.

Rate of self-reported pain
Pain is measured by self-reported Likert scale from 0 to 5. Higher score indicated more painful situation. Result is reported by the mean score.
Time frame: 3 days, 7 days
Self-reported swelling
Patients reported their perception about swelling levels. There are 6 levels of this scale, score from 0 to 5. Higher score means more swelling.
Time frame: 3 days, 7 days
Trismus
Trismus is measured by difference of maximal mouth opening between post-and pre-operative wisdom tooth surgery. Maximal mouth opening is mueasured by distance of mesial incisal edge of maxillary and mandibular central incisor.
Time frame: 3 days, 7 days
Soft tissue healing score
The soft tissue healing score is evaluated according to Hamzami (2018). It includes 8 sub-items. Each item is recorded as 0 or 1 (score). Then, total score of the first 30 days (3 evaluation time) is used to classify wound healing level (good, acceptable, and bad).
Time frame: 3 days, 7 days, 30 days
Aveolar height
Aveolar height is measured as the distance from cementoenamel joint on distal surface of second molar to the aveolar ridge. The landmark points are defined on periapical film. The aveolar height is measured at 7 days, 3 months, 6 months and 2 years after the surgery.
Time frame: 7 days, 2 months, 6 months, 2 years
Swelling measured by facial dimension
Difference of distances of facial landmark points between post-and pre-operative wisdom tooth surgery. Two distances (AB and CD) from 4 landmark points are used for measurement: A - lateral commissure of the eye, B - gonion, C - tragus, and D - lateral commissure of the lips.
Time frame: 3 days, 7 days
