Opis
Flap surgery is used to treat periodontal disease. It is a minor surgery under local anaesthesia. We elevate the mucoperiosteal flap, expose the roots of the affected teeth and then remove inflamed tissue, irregular bone defects and defects on the root surfaces and reshape the root furcations. Gingiva is sutured with surgical sutures. Reducing pockets and reshaping the bony defects creates better conditions for oral hygiene and improves tooth prognosis.
