The socket preservation techniques are used to minimize bone loss and maintain gingival tissues volume after tooth extraction. However, the volume preservation rate of the alveolar process is not predictable, and most of the guided bone regeneration techniques change the mucogingival line by coronally positioning the flap to cover a membrane, what may impair implant aesthetics and function. The aim of this clinical prospective study was to evaluate the use of an anodized titanium membrane (ATM) to reconstruction of the alveolar buccal bone plate in compromised Fresh Socket, analyzing tomographical bone measurements presurgically and 6 months after surgery.
