Saliva production is controlled by nervous stimulation and influenced by various factors. Saliva serves important functions like lubrication, digestion, protection, and maintenance of oral health. Analysis of saliva is also useful as a diagnostic tool for systemic and oral diseases.
This document provides an overview of the management of intraoral bleeding. It begins with an introduction to blood and hemorrhage classification. It then discusses hemostasis, the coagulation cascade, laboratory tests for screening, and patient evaluation before surgery. The document covers local measures, drugs, dressings and other techniques for controlling bleeding, including ligation of vessels. It concludes with a discussion of the role of endothelium, platelets, and the coagulation cascade in normal hemostasis.
This document provides an overview of cementum, including its definition, history, formation (cementogenesis), physical characteristics, biochemical composition, classification, functions, interactions with other tissues, resorption and repair processes, alterations from periodontal disease, and applied aspects. Key points include that cementum covers tooth roots, provides attachment for periodontal ligament fibers, and its formation and maintenance occurs throughout life. It is less mineralized and more permeable than dentin. Cementum can be classified based on presence of cells, fiber content, location, and time of formation.
This document summarizes information about gingival pigmentation. It discusses the etiology, classification, and indexes used for measuring pigmentation. Physiologic pigmentation results from normal melanocyte activity and presents as symmetric pigmentation over many sites. Pathologic pigmentation can be caused by factors like smoking or systemic conditions like Addison's disease. Melanin is the main pigment produced by melanocytes through a process called melanogenesis. The document outlines the types of melanin and their properties. It also discusses diagnostic criteria and treatment approaches for different types of pigmentation.
The document summarizes the effects of various endocrine hormones on the periodontium. It discusses how hormones from the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid, adrenal glands, pancreas, parathyroid glands, and gonads can influence periodontal tissues and the progression of periodontal disease. Specific hormones like cortisol, sex hormones, insulin, and parathyroid hormone are associated with increased risk of periodontitis through impacts on inflammation, immune response, bone metabolism, and bacterial microbiota in the mouth. A better understanding of these endocrine influences could provide insights into risk factors and treatment approaches for periodontal disease.
The document provides information on trauma from occlusion and coronoplasty. It defines trauma from occlusion as damage to the periodontium caused by excessive occlusal forces. Coronoplasty involves selective reduction of occlusal surfaces to influence mechanical contact conditions and sensory input, with the aim of reducing excessive tooth mobility and providing functional stimulation for periodontal health. The document discusses the diagnosis, classification, and clinical features of trauma from occlusion, as well as the objectives, methods, and techniques used in performing coronoplasty.
This document provides an overview of animal models used in periodontal research. It discusses the definition and history of animal models, the need for animal models in periodontal research given limitations of human studies, and various categories and classifications of animal models. The document then examines specific animal models used in periodontal research, including rats, mice, and hamsters, describing their anatomy, how periodontal disease presents in each, and advantages and limitations of each model.

14. FACTORS AFFECTING FLAP DESIGN
Necessary access to the underlying bone and root surfaces
Final posision of the flap
Preservation of good blood supply to the flap
16. INCISIONS
HORIZONTAL INCISIONS
Internal bevel incision/ first incision
Crevicular incision/ second incision
Interdental incision/ third incision
VERTICAL INCISION
17. Horizontal Incisions: along the margin of the gingiva
Coronally directed or Apically directed
Externel bevel
* Internal bevel
* Sulcular/ intra crevicular
* Interdental incision
18. Internal bevel Incision: first/ primary/ reverse bevel incision
From a designated area on the gingiva to an area at or near the
crest of bone #11 0r #15 surgical scalpel
19. Objectives
Removes the pocket lining
Preserves the uninvolved outer surface of gingiva
Produces a sharp, thin margin for adaptation at bone-tooth
junction
Indications:
-Presence of moderate/deep periodontal pocket
-Desire to correct bone morphology
Pre-requisite: Sufficient Keratinized tissue
20. Crevicular Incision: second/ sulcular incision from base of pocket to
crest of bone
V-shaped wedge: inflammed and granulomatous areas of lateral pocket
wall JE and connective tissue fibres
21. Indications:
Periodontal pocket elimination/ reduction
As a secondary incision for flap surgery
to lessen post operative gingival
recession in anterior maxillary regions
Decisive Criteria:
Narrow band of keratinized tissue
Thin gingival biotype
23. The Interdental Incision: separates the collar of gingiva
around the tooth
Orban’s interdental knife
24.
25. Vertical Incisions: Must extend beyond the mucogingival line
reaching the alveolar mucosa when displacement of flap is desired
At line angles of the tooth – to include/exclude the papilla from flap
Never over height of contour or root
Avoid short (mesio-distal) flaps
26. Incisions Description Indication
External Bevel Coronally Directed Gingivectomy, crown
lengthening,
Gingivoplasty
Internal Bevel Apically directed, placed at the crest
of the gingival margin or stepped
back from the margin 0.5 to 2.0 mm
Excisional new
attachment procedure,
modified Widman flap,
flap and curettage,
crown lengthening
Sulcular Apically directed, placed in the
gingival crevice and directed toward
the alveolar crest
When preservation of
gingiva. is critical, as in
esthetic areas or areas
of minimal keratinized
tissue, guided tissue
regeneration (GTR)
procedures
27. Incisions Description Indication
Releasing Perpendicular to the gingival
margin at line angles of teeth
To increase access, to
allow apical or
coronal positioning of
flap
Thinning Internal or undermining incision
extending from gingival margin
toward the base of the flap to
decrease the bulk of connective
tissue on the underside of the flap
Palatal flaps, distal
wedge procedures,
internal bevel
gingivectomy, bulky
papillae
Periosteal Incision at the base of the flap
severing the underlying
periosteum
To release flap tension
allowing coronal
advancement of the
flap
28. PROPERTIES OF IDEAL FLAP
Ideal Flap/ Section of a soft tissue:
Is outlined by a surgical incision
Carries its own blood supply
Allows surgical access to underlying tissues
Can be placed in the original position
Can be maintained with sutures in a particular desired position
And is expected to heal
29. Sharp incisions heal rapidly
Flap extension- 2 teeth anterior and 1 tooth posterior to area of surgery
Incisions- over intact bone/ 6-8mm away from diseased bone.
( Peterson)
30. PRE OPERATIVE CHECKLIST

Tests: Hb%, Clotting time 6-10mins, Bleeding time 1-6mins
Appropriate infection control
31. To gain access for root debridement
Bone regeneration in infrabony defects
Pockets on teeth in which a complete removal of root irritants is not
possible by non surgical therapy
Areas with irregular bone contours or defects which need to be corrected
Infrabony pockets distal to first molars
In grade II and grade III furcations
Persistent inflammation in moderate to deep pockets
32. Lack of patient motivation or compliance
Acute oral infections which may spread
Systemic conditions / Medically compromised patients. Eg. Uncontrolled
diabetes mellitus
34. THE NEUMANN FLAP: 1911
Intracrevicular incision
full thickness flap reflected
Sectional releasing incisions made
Inside of flap curetted
Root surfaces “cleaned”
Irregular alveolar bone corrected
Flaps trimmed
Replacing flap at crest of alveolar bone
( Periodontal Surgery: Resection to Regeneration, Richard Young,
2003)
35. THE ORIGINAL WIDMAN FLAP: 1918
Gingival incision follows outline of
gingival margin
2 vertical release incisions
Physiologic contour of alveolar bone re-
established
36. Aimed at:
Elimination of pocket epithelium
Accessibility to root surfaces
Bone Recontouring
Sufficient ATTACHED GINGIVA is a pre-requisite.
Advantages:
Soft tissue margin at alveolar bone crest- no pockets remained
Less discomfort- faster healing
Recontour bone
Disadvantage:
Exposure of root surfaces
vertical incisions
37. Sutured to original position
Intracrevicular incision Expose diseased roots
THE MODIFIED FLAP OPERATION: KIRKLAND 1931
Roots debrided- defects corrected
38. The Modified Flap Operation: Kirkland 1931
Did not include extensive sacrifice of non inflammed tissue
No apical displacement of gingival margin
Indicated in anterior aesthetic areas
Potential for bone regeneration in intrabony defects
39. THE MODIFIED WIDMAN FLAP: Ramfjord and Nissle 1974
*1st incision: 0.5-1mm away
from gingival margin.
*Accentuated initial incision : 1-
2mm from mid palatal surface of
tooth
* Bone architecture not
corrected
*No inter proximal bone
exposure
*Interrupted inter proximal
sutures
41. ADVANTAGES:
Access and visualization of root surfaces
Good adaptation of healthy connective tissue to root
surfaces
Better aesthetics
Less potential root hypersensitivity
Preservation of gingival width
DISADVANTAGES:
Residual probing depths in presence of infra bony pockets
42. * Use of vertical incisions
*Reverse bevel incision: 1-2mm
from gingival margin
Bone exposure: 2-3mm
Minimal bone re-contouring
recommended
Flap positioned at the new alveolar
crest margin
* No vertical release incisions
* 1st incision -0.5-1mm from
gingival margin
Bone exposure- 1.5-2mm
Bone architecture not corrected
Flap repositioned
The Original Widman Flap The Modified Widman Flap
43. THE UNDISPLACED FLAP:
‘Internal bevel gingivectomy’- surgically removes the pocket wall
Sufficient keratinized tissue a pre-requisite, to avoid mucogingival
problem
44. The Undisplaced Flap:
Pockets measured- Bleeding points produced
Internal bevel incision- thinning of flap done
Crevicular incision- full thickness flap reflected
Interdental incision- triangular tissue wedge removed
Edge of flap re-scalloped/ trimmed to rest on ‘root-bone’ junction
Continuous sling suture
45. THE PALATAL FLAP:
Initial incision varies with anatomic situation- internal bevel incision
Thick tissue- horizontal gingivectomy incision
Scalloping narrower apically than line angle areas
Blade angled towards lateral surface of palatal bone while thinning
flap
Thin, knife-like gingival margin and sharp, thin gingival papilla
47. THE APICALLY REPOSITIONED FLAP: FRIEDMAN
1962
Indications:
Pocket reduction
Increasing the zone of attached gingiva
Disadvantages:
Unaesthetic results- root exposure
Hypersensitivity
Incision is unrelated to pocket depth
Not necessary to accentuate scallop interdentally
49. THE BEVELED FLAP :FRIEDMAN
Modification of apically repositioned flap
For treatment of periodontal pockets on the palatal aspect of teeth.
First, a conventional mucoperiosteal flap
Debridement and osseous recontouring performed.
The palatal flap prepared with a secondary scalloped and beveled
incision
Secured with interproximal sutures.
50. PAPILLA PRESERVATION FLAP: TAKEI ET AL, 1985
In Conventional flap:
incise from bottom of pocket to crest of bone- splitting papilla below
contact point
In reconstructive surgery
Maximum amount of gingiva and papilla are retained to cover the
materials placed in the pocket
Intra crevicular incision
Semilunar incision across interdental area
Wide osseous defect lingually/palatally- semilunar incision on facial
aspect
51. Preserved papilla can be incorporated into the facial or
lingual/palatal flap.
The lingual or palatal incision should be semilunar incision
across the interdental papilla. This incision dips apically
from the line angle of the tooth so that the papillary incision
is at least 5 mm from the crest of the papilla.
52. 4. An orban knife is introduced into this incision to sever half to two-thirds
the base of the interdental papilla.
5. The papilla is then dissected from the lingual or palatal aspect and
elevated intact with the facial flap.
6. The flap is elevated without thinning the tissue.
55. SIMPLIFIED PAPILLA PRESERVATION TECHNIQUE
Cortellini et al. in 1999
For narrow interdental spaces (< 2mm).
An oblique incision across the defect-associated papilla, starting from the
buccal line angle of the involved tooth to reach the mid-interdental part of
the papilla at the adjacent tooth below the contact point.
The papilla is cut into two equal parts
57. DISTAL WEDGE PROCEDURE: ROBINSON (1966) AND
BRADEN (1969)
Treatment of periodontal pockets on the distal surface of terminal
molars is complicated by the presence of bulbous fibrous tissue over
the maxillary tuberosity or prominent retromolar pads in the mandible.
Deep vertical defects may often present in conjunction with redundant
fibrous tissue.
These osseous lesions may result from incomplete repair after the
extraction of impacted third molars
58. Location of incision:
1)Amount of attached gingiva
2)Available distance from distal aspect of molar
to end of retromolar pad/ tuberosity
3) Pocket depth
Simple gingivectomy incision can be used for soft tissue
pocket and adjacent fibrous tissue.
59. MODIFIED DISTAL WEDGE PROCEDURE
In case of a deep periodontal pocket combined with angular
bone defect at distal aspect of a maxillary molar.
Two parallel reverse bevel incisions.
Rectangular wedge tissue is removed.
Root debridement, recontouring bone, flaps trimmed and
sutured.
60.
61.
62. CLOSURE OF FLAPS
OBJECTIVES
Supporting and strengthening the wounds until healing increases their
tensile strength.
Minimizing the risk of infection and control of bleeding.
Continuous Sling Suture
Interrupted suture
Mattress Sutures
Periosteal Sutures
Anchor sutures
63. HEALING AFTER FLAP SURGERY
Flap-tooth by

64. COMPLICATIONS
Periodontal surgery can produce profuse bleeding,especially
during initial incisions and flap reflection.
Excessive haemorrhaging after initial incisions and flap
reflection may be caused by venules,arterioles and vessels.
Anatomic variation- inadvertent laceration
Root exposure post flap surgery- hypersensitivity
Liver clot/ currant jelly clot – repeated delayed organisation
of blood coagulum.
Sensitivity to percussion
Prolnged exposure or dryness of bone
