The guided bone regeneration (GBR) technique concept advocates the regeneration osseous defect via the application of occlusive membranes. In fact, what maintains the gingival architecture is the support from the alveolar bone. The regular structure of the osseous-gingival tissue is only possible due to the presence of teeth. The teeth extraction beginning of resorption of the alveolar bone. The resorption is more in width than the height. 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 implant-supported rehabilitations have been prioritized in relation to the use of removable prostheses, thus, alveolar bone preservation is a requirement in daily clinical practice. This case report describes the GBR technique who had use of a polypropylene membrane, demonstration of advantages and should be indicated also for post-surgical alveolus
