Periodontal Flap Surgery
Surgical treatment for deep cleaning and maintaining gum tissue health.
Periodontal Flap Surgery
Periodontal flap surgery (or flap surgery) is a procedure used to treat advanced gum tissue diseases (periodontitis).
Its purpose is deep cleaning of bacteria and tartar that are located below the gum line and cannot be removed with conventional treatments.
How the procedure is performed
The periodontal surgeon carefully lifts a "flap" (gum tissue) to expose the tooth roots and surrounding bone.
Then a complete cleaning of the infection and tartar is performed, and, if necessary, the bone is reshaped to create a healthier structure.
Finally, the flap is placed back in position and carefully sutured, allowing tissue regeneration.
