PRINCIPLES OF FLAP DESIGN
MANAGEMENT OF SOFT TISSUE
1. Avoiding the incision overa bonydefect
2. Including the full extentof the lesion.
3. Avoiding sharpcorners
4. Avoiding incision acrossa bonyeminence
5. Making sure base of the flap should be wider than the free end.
6. Avoiding incision in the mucogingival junction.
7. Taking careduring retraction.
8. Incision should be made with firm, continuous firm strokeperpendiculartothecortical
boneplate.
9. The sutured flap margin should reston solid cortical boneplate.

moistened with sterile saline, gently apply firm
pressure to the flapped tissue for 2 to 3
minutes (5 minutes forpalatal tissue) before
suturing.
 Enhances intravascularclotting in thesevered
blood vessels

days.
 Do not drink alcohol oruse tobacco (smoke orchew) for the next 3 days.
 Havea good, soft dietand drink lots of liquids for the first few days after
surgery.

Editor's Notes

  • #8 BREAD CFC
  • #11 11 STAB INCISION 12 SUTURE REMOVAL 15 SHORT AND PRECISE INCISION
  • #14 A curette is a surgical instrument designed for scraping or debriding biological tissue or debris in a biopsy, excision, or cleaning procedure. In form, the curette is a small hand tool, often similar in shape to a stylus; at the tip of the curette is a small scoop, hook, or gouge.
  • #16  (Micro-Apical Placement) System
  • #19 Marsupialization is a surgical decompression procedure used to reduce large periapical lesions without periapical curettage. [3] Decompression allows continuous drainage from periapical lesion, which eliminates conditions favoring expansion of periapical pathosis resulting in healing by osseous regeneration.
  • #20 Surgical drainage is indicated when purulent and/or hemorrhagic exudates forms within the soft tissue and the alveolar bone; as result of a symptomatic Periradicular abscess
  • #23 Cortical trephination is a procedure involving the perforation of the cortical plate to accomplish the release of pressure from the accumulation of exudate within the alveolar bone
  • #26 Scully and Cawson -Anemia -Bleeding disorders -Cardio respiratory disorders -Drug treatment and allergies -Endocrine disorders -Fits and faints -Gastrointestinal disorders -Hospital admissions and surgeries -Infections -Jaundice -Kidney disease antibiotic prophylaxis needed in case of bacterial endocarditis
  • #27 Objectives: obtain profound and prolonged anaesthesia provide good hemostasis both during and after the surgical procedure Selection based on: Medical status of the patient Desired duration of anaesthesia
  • #43 Since the length of an ultrasonic tip is 3 mm, the ideal diameter of an osteotomy is about 4mm DURING MICROSURGERY IDEAL OSTEOTOMY 10MM
  • #45 Eliminating Anatomical variations Ledges Canal obstructions Resorptive defects Perforation defects Separated instruments Visualize seal created by orthograde treatment and need for root- end seal Gain access to pathological tissue trapped along lingual surface of root
  • #55 Corrective surgery is categorized as surgery involving the correction of defects in the body of the root other than the apex.
  • #56 Root amputation procedures are a logical way to eliminate a weak, diseased root to allow the stronger root(s) to survive when, if retained together, they would collectively fail.
  • #57 ⦿Hemi section is defined as separation of a multi rooted tooth and the removal of a root and the associated portion of the clinical crown.
