Flap Surgery before and after

What is Flap Surgery?

  • Flap surgery, also known as periodontal flap surgery, involves lifting the gums away from the teeth to allow access to the underlying bone and root surfaces.
  • This procedure is typically performed to treat gum disease that has progressed beyond the point of nonsurgical interventions like scaling and root planing.
  • By cleaning the affected areas, flap surgery helps to reduce pocket depths and promote reattachment of the gums to the teeth.

Causes Leading to the Need for Flap Surgery:

  • Advanced Periodontal Disease: Untreated gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, leading to deep gum pockets and significant bone loss.
  • Severe Gum Inflammation: Chronic inflammation can cause the gums to pull away from the teeth, creating pockets that harbor bacteria.
  • Excessive Plaque and Tartar Accumulation: Poor oral hygiene can lead to significant buildup that necessitates surgical intervention for removal.
  • Genetic Factors: Some individuals are genetically predisposed to gum disease, increasing the likelihood of requiring flap surgery.
  • Systemic Conditions: Conditions like diabetes or autoimmune diseases can contribute to gum disease progression, making flap surgery necessary.

Symptoms Indicating the Need for Flap Surgery:

  • Deep Gum Pockets: Pockets greater than 4mm that indicate significant gum disease and require surgical intervention.
  • Receding Gums: Gums pulling away from teeth, exposing tooth roots and increasing sensitivity.
  • Chronic Bad Breath: Persistent bad breath caused by bacterial buildup in deep pockets.
  • Mobility of Teeth: Loose teeth due to bone loss and inflammation around the supporting structures.
  • Pain and Discomfort: Ongoing pain in the gums or teeth that worsens with pressure.
