Flap Applications

In advanced gum diseases, superficial cleaning procedures are not sufficient. Hardened plaques and inflamed tissues accumulated in the gum pockets can only be seen and effectively cleaned by opening the gum. One of the most effective methods used in this case is the flap operation.

As Dehadent Genius Clinic, we perform flap applications with our expert periodontology team, prioritizing modern surgical techniques and patient comfort. Our aim is not only to clean the infection; but also to protect the tissues that support your teeth in the long term.

What is Flap Operation?

Flap application is a treatment method that allows the gums to be surgically removed in areas with advanced gum inflammation and the root surfaces and bone tissue to be directly cleaned. Thanks to this procedure, bacteria and infected tissues in deep areas that cannot be seen with the eye are cleaned, bone losses are evaluated and regenerative procedures can be applied if necessary.

In Which Cases Is It Applied?

1. Gum pockets deeper than 5 mm
2. If teeth have started to wobble
3. In cases where curettage is insufficient to reach the root surfaces
4. If gum inflammation has caused bone loss
5. In advanced stages of periodontitis

How is Flap Application Performed?

1. Examination and X-Ray Analysis: The depth of the gum pockets and bone condition are evaluated.
2. Local Anesthesia: The patient's comfort is ensured during the procedure.
3. Gum Opening: The gum tissue is lifted with special tools to reach the root surface.
4. Cleaning and Smoothing: Deep plaque, stone and infected tissues are completely cleaned. The root surface is smoothed.
5. Tissue Regeneration (If Necessary): The area is supported with biomaterials such as bone powder or membrane.
6. Stitching and Healing: The tissue is closed again, stitched and the healing process begins.

Advantages;

1. Provides deep cleaning

4. Contributes to long-term gum health
