Detailed Procedure of Periodontal Flap Surgery
A surgery can sound complicated, especially when as a patient you have no idea of what is going to happen. Do not worry, let us guide you through our step-by-step, simple, and safe periodontal flap surgery procedure.
We conduct an initial consultation meeting to analyze, discuss, and prepare the patient for the surgery. This involves gathering your medical history, symptoms, and other complications.
After analyzing your condition, our Periodontist will take you to the surgery and inject local anaesthesia to numb the targeted area around the affected tooth and ensure that you won't face any pain during the procedure.
Our doctor will then gently pull the back sections of your gums to create flaps. These flaps will facilitate access to the roots of the teeth and the underlying bone.
Once the flaps are placed precisely, the surgeon will thoroughly clean the tooth roots to find and remove all the inflamed gum tissue that has been affected by this condition.
In case of any advanced conditions like bone loss due to this condition, our surgeon may recommend using bone grafting procedures. This will help in repairing and regenerating the damaged bone.
After cleaning and repairing the bone tissue, the gum flaps are then carefully stitched back into place ensuring that the tissue fits firmly around the teeth for maximum support.
