Untreated Mineralized Dentin Graft Versus Xenograft Around Immediately Placed Dental Implants in the Mandibular Anterior Region: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

The structural and compositional similarities between dentin and alveolar bone formed the basis for utilizing dentin for bone regeneration. Various authors recommended using treated mineralized, partially demineralized, and demineralized dentin grafts over xenografts because of their comparable clinical and radiographic results and lower costs. Therefore, the current study aimed at comparing the effect of untreated mineralized dentin grafts (UMDG) versus xenografts in vertical and horizontal augmentation around dental implants that were immediately placed in the mandibular anterior region.
