Flap Surgery

Flap surgery is a procedure which is done in cases of gum diseases where gum tissue is almost always receded so that it no longer covers the entire tooth root or reaches high enough up on the tooth to attach well and maintain tooth stability. Usually there exists a space (pocket) between the tooth and gums which is filled with plaque (bacteria) and calculus. Patients sometimes complain of teeth that have become loose, bad odour and bleeding from gums. The goal of surgery is to rebuild lost gum tissue on a clean foundation. Using flap surgery, areas of the gums are cut back, and while the gum tissue is flapped back, the exposed parts of teeth can be deep cleaned and treated with bacteria-killing topical agents.

Before having flap surgery, a procedure called scaling is done to clean plaque and tartar from your teeth and gums. Once a good oral hygiene is maintained, surgery can be scheduled. After scaling is completed and once the roots and bone are exposed root planning procedure is done to clean any remaining tartar and plaque .If any bone defects are present then they are also eliminated. This procedure is called osseous re-contouring, It smoothens the edges of the bone using files or rotating burs. Finally, the gums will be placed back against the teeth and stitched in place followed by periodontal pack if required.
