Location of flap margin after suturing.

C H Holmes, B E Strem

    Journal of Periodontology
    |November 1, 1976

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study on apically positioned flap procedures found that root coverage averaged 2 mm. This outcome was significantly greater than previously recommended guidelines for flap margin to alveolar crest distance.

    Area of Science:

    • Periodontology
    • Oral Surgery
    • Regenerative Dentistry

    Background:

    • Gingival recession and root exposure are common dental issues.
    • Apically positioned flap (APF) procedures are used to treat these conditions.
    • Optimal flap positioning is crucial for successful root coverage and periodontal health.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the root coverage achieved with apically positioned flap procedures.
    • To compare the achieved root coverage with established recommendations.
    • To assess the flap margin to alveolar crest distance post-operatively.

    Main Methods:

    • Facial and lingual flaps were surgically reflected in 23 patients undergoing APF.
    • The distance from the flap margin to the alveolar crest was measured immediately after suturing.

  • Standard pocket probing techniques were employed for measurement.

    • Main Results:

    • The average root coverage achieved was approximately 2 mm.
    • This measured root coverage was significantly higher than previously recommended values.
    • The flap margin to alveolar crest distance was consistently recorded.

    Conclusions:

    • Apically positioned flap procedures can yield significant root coverage.
    • The achieved 2 mm root coverage surpasses prior recommendations.
    • This technique shows promise for effective treatment of gingival recession.
