One of the principles of modern Implantology is the maintenance of soft and hard tissues or the reduction of bone resorption, particularly after the exodontia. The teeth extraction beginning of resorption of the alveolar bone. The resorption is more in width than the height. In this perspective, the maintenance of the blood clot inside the alveolus is essential to avoid invagination of the epithelial tissue. The guided bone regeneration technique proposes the regeneration of the bone defect using occlusive membranes. Angiogenesis and chemotaxis of cells competent for bone formation is only possible with the maintenance of immobility of the clot. Blood cells, particularly platelets, are most responsible for encoding and producing new bone tissue through bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), which will repair the post-surgical alveolus. The purpose of this article is present a case of placement of dental implant after use of guided bone regeneration with polypropylene membrane.
