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
