Surgical Planning and Procedures
Flap Closure
Multiple factors influence the success of implant surgery. These include careful treatment planning, a command of the basic surgical techniques common to all oral surgery procedures, and the ability to perform these procedures atraumatically.
One such procedure is closure of any soft tissue flaps that were elevated during surgery. The aim of flap closure is to reposition the soft tissues in a good anatomical position.
Satisfactory closure of surgical wounds promotes healing and reduces complications such as wound breakdown, dehiscence, and infection.
These factors play an important role in achieving successful and esthetic surgical outcomes.
