Periodontal Flap Surgery is a dental procedure that involves lifting the gum tissue and creating a "flap" to expose the underlying bone and roots of the teeth. This procedure is typically performed to treat advanced cases of gum disease, where pockets have formed between the gums and teeth, allowing harmful bacteria to accumulate and cause damage to the teeth and supporting structures.
Periodontal Flap Surgery is a highly effective treatment for advanced gum disease and can help prevent further damage to the teeth and supporting structures. It is often performed in conjunction with other periodontal treatments, such as scaling and root planing or antibiotic therapy, to achieve the best possible outcome.
Periodontal flap surgery is recommended for patients with advanced gum disease that cannot be treated with non-surgical methods. This procedure involves lifting the gums to access and clean the roots of teeth, remove infected tissue, add bone graft and reshape bone. It may also be recommended for patients with excessive gum tissue or deep gum pockets as a corrective procedure.
When gum disease progresses, pockets can form between the gums and teeth, allowing bacteria to accumulate and cause damage to the roots of the teeth and surrounding bone.
Gum disease can cause the gums to recede, exposing the roots of the teeth and making them more susceptible to decay and sensitivity.
Advanced gum disease can cause significant bone loss around the roots of the teeth, which can lead to tooth loss if left untreated.
Gum disease can cause a persistent bad taste or odour in your mouth, even after brushing or using mouthwash.
The first step is the evaluation of the patient and to assess whether you are suitable for the periodontal flap surgery or not. It involves x rays like OPG or CBCT. The procedure for periodontal flap surgery typically involves the following steps:
