    The purpose of this case report is to evaluate the effects of a patient’s own demineralized dentin matrix (DDM) for socket preservation after extraction. A 27 year old male presented with slightly mesially inclined upper impacted right third molar with pericoronitis. Extraction of the impacted tooth was performed atraumatically and DDM granules were prepared from the extracted tooth. Firstly, the tooth was crushed by a newly developed auto-crush mill at 12,000 rpm for 60 seconds. The crushed granules were demineralized completely in 0.34 N nitric acid for 20 minutes and rinsed in distilled water. Immediate autograft of DDM was done into the tooth socket after 20 perforations into the socket surface. The results were evaluated clinically and radiographically at 3 and 12 months postoperatively. Dental X-ray just after the graft revealed radiopaque.. View More»
