This video demonstrates flap design and surgical management of an extraction socket with severe buccalbone dehiscence in the posterior maxilla. A titanium-reinforced PTFE membrane is used for ridge preservation and stabilized with a single buccal fixation tack, followed by open-healing membrane exposure and final suturing.

What you will gain:

• Understandcase selection for ridge preservation in sockets with severe buccal bone loss
• Learnflap design and membrane positioning for posterior maxillary ridge preservation
• See how to stabilize a Ti-reinforced PTFE membrane using a single fixation tack
• Appreciate the principles and indications of open-healing membrane management
• Gain practical tips to optimize ridge volume and prepare the site for future implant placement
