Authors' Contributions
NB, tooth
Sample collection, data curation, formal analysis, and writing the original draft were made by “Afnan Abdulkareem Hussain.” Supervision, conceptualization, methodology, surgical operations, writing, reviewing, and editing were made by “Ahmed Fadhel Al-Quisi.” And further writing, reviewing, and editing were done by “Ali A. Abdulkareem.” We confirm that the manuscript “Efficacy of Autogenous Dentin Biomaterial on Alveolar Ridge Preservation: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial” has been read and approved by all named authors and that there are no other persons who satisfied the criteria for authorship but need to be listed. We further confirm that all have approved the order of authors listed in the manuscript of us.Tomographic measurements of the alveolar ridge width, gingival biotype, and buccal bone plate thickness.
