Fromatechnicalstandpoint,itisimpossible to —— a palatal flap.
apically position
Thinned palatal flap
Cut off gingiva above bone, scallop out gingiva near bone, close.
A distal wedge is a periodontal surgical procedure for removing excessive soft tissue
distal to a terminal tooth
• A term “wedge” refers to a process for —— by removal of a
internal thinning
block of tissue
Typical sites for wedges
\
- Maxillary tuberosity
* Mandibular retromolar area • Edentulous ridges
Distal wedge advantages
• Provide access to ———
• Allow internal thinning of ———
• It is possible to obtain ——— of the wound after reduction of bulky tissue
bone and furcations

primary closure
Distal wedge Triangular:
least difficult, least invasive
• Square: provides best access
• Linear: most effective at preserving keratinized gingiva

Conservative Flap Designs
• Intended to minimize —–
• Good for ——–
recession
maxillary anterior teeth
Conservative flap designs
-Modified Widman Flap
– Flap curettage (open flap debridement
Modified Widman Flap
- A scalloped, replaced mucoperiosteal flap accomplished with an internal bevel incision
- Provides access for root planing
- Conservative design permits primary closure of the flap
modified Widman flap is elevated only
2 to 3 mm apical to the alveolar crest
With conservative flaps, there is little or no ——-. The flap is adapted to obtain primary closure
bone resection
Interrupted sutures
Simple loop modification Figure 8 modification
Sling sutures
Single sling suture
Continuous sling suture
Sutures should be inserted through the ——– first
more mobile flap
Sutures should be placed no closer than —– mm from the edge of the flap
2-3
In the interdental papilla, should enter and exit the tissue at a point located below the line that forms the
base of the triangle of the interdental papilla
Periodontal dressings
- To protect the wound postsurgically
- For patient comfort
- To obtain and maintain a close adaptation of the mucosal flaps to the underlying bone
Post operative plaque control
- 0.12% chlorhexidine (Peridex, Periogard)
Maintain good postsurgical wound stability
- adequate suturing technique
- protection of wound from mechanical trauma during healing
Suture removal
- Use mouthrinse to clean the wound
- Cut the suture close to the tissue as possible to avoid dragging bacteria into the wound
- When removing continuous sutures, each section should be cut and pulled out individually
Annual rate of Attachment Loss = 0

SURGICAL THERAPY
• ADVANTAGES
– Direct vision while working on root surface – Easier manipulation/removal of tissues
Surgery • DISADVANTAGES –
Morbidity
– Esthetic compromises – Cost (?)
Gingivectomy
– External bevel
– Exposed tissue during healing
Flap
– Internally beveled
– Provides access to bone
– Tissues not exposed during healing
Perio flaps contexts for use
Contexts for use:
– Resection (removal of hard or soft tissue) – Conservative (for access only)
– Regeneration (new periodontal support)
• Flaps preserve keratinized gingiva • Flaps can be closed by suturing
Elevation past the ——- will fully reflect the flap
mucogingival junction
Elevation is very difficult if the primary incision does not extend to the
bone
• Exostoses require special attention to
direction of elevation
Partial-thickness flaps
- Also known as “split-thickness flaps”
- Periosteum remains on bone, protecting it from resorption
- Requires sharp dissection
- Technique is relatively difficult
- Facilitates an increase in the width of keratinized gingiva
Vertical incisions
• Provide access without ——-
• Help with ——-
• Must be made ——– near line angles (never over a root prominence)
• Should ——- apically for vascular integrity
flap extension to adjacent areas
flap positioning

Flap positioning • ---------- positioned – For regeneration or root coverage • Replaced – For -------- (minimal recession) • Apically positioned – For -------

pocket elimination or crown lengthening
Gingivectomy Indications
-hyperplastic tissue -suprabony pockets
Gingivectomy Contraindications
-osseous involvement -mucogingival involvement -furcation involvement
Gingivoplasty
-reshaping of the gingiva -recreating physiological contours
—— are typically used for gingivoplasty
Diamond burs
Phases of Postsurgical Healing
- Inflammation
- Fibroblastic granulation
- Matrix formation and remodeling
Healing immediate response
- Formationofbloodclotbetweenmarginsof wound and between flap and tooth or bone
- Clotincludesfibrin,neutrophils,platelets, red cells, cell debris, and capillaries at the edge of the wound
Healing: first 24 hours
- Neutrophils infiltrate the connective tissue
* Epithelium begins to migrate from the wound margins
Healing: 1-3 days
- Space between the flap and tooth or bone narrows
* Epithelial cells migrate over the border of the flap, contacting the tooth
Healing: 3-7 days
- Epithelialmigrationcontinues
- Neutrophilsarereplacedbymacrophages,which eliminate dead/damaged cells
- Bloodclotisreplacedbygranulationtissue
- Revascularizationbegins
Healing: 1 week
- Epithelium attaches to the root
- Blood clot is replaced by granulation tissue derived from gingival connective tissue, bone marrow and/or periodontal ligament
Healing: 2 weeks
- Collagen fibers are oriented parallel to tooth surface (nonfunctional)
- Union of flap to tooth is weak • Collagen fibers are immature
Healing: 1 month
- Inflammatory cells are mostly gone
- Fibroblasts proliferate, synthesize collagen
- Revascularization process regresses
- Gingival crevice is fully epithelialized
- Epithelial attachment is well defined
- Functional arrangement of supracrestal fibers
Healing: 2 months
- Collagenhasremodeledandcross-linked
* Thewoundhasregainedmostofitsoriginal tensile strength
• When the bone is exposed by a full thickness flap, superficial bone necrosis occurs after
1 to 3 days
• Typically, —- of bone is lost when bone is exposed to the oral environment
1 mm
Healing by secondary intention exhibits:
- A more vigorous inflammatory response
- Formation of a larger volume of granulation tissue to fill the defect
- More pronounced wound contraction during healing
The blood clot is a major initial source of
growth factors and cytokines.
PDGF:
induces fibroblast and macrophage migration, fibroblast proliferation and macrophage activation
• EGF:
induces epithelial proliferation
• TGF-ß:
induces migration of inflammatory cells and proliferation of fibroblasts
Growth factors released from the blood clot
PDGF
EDF
TGF-beta
Factors released by fibroblasts and macrophages
TNF, IL1beta
• TNF: activates
endothelium, induces neutrophil migration
• IL-1ß: activates
endothelium, induces neutrophil migration
• Repair:
damaged tissues are replaced by tissues that don’t duplicate the function or architecture or the original tissues.
• Regeneration:
damaged tissues are replaced by tissues that duplicate the structure and function of the original tissues.
