It is proved that grafting of fresh extraction sockets with bone grafts promotes ridge preservation. An objective method of maintaining height and width of alveolar ridge using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) seeded on collagen membrane was implemented in this study %K Cementoenamel junction %K collagen membrane %K mesenchymal stem cells %K ridge preservation technique %K stromal stem cell %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5357932/
