    Flapless implant placement significantly reduces postoperative pain and swelling compared to traditional flap techniques. This minimally invasive approach offers a more comfortable experience for patients undergoing dental implant surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Dental Implantology

    Background:

    • Traditional dental implant placement often involves flap reflection, leading to increased tissue trauma and patient discomfort.
    • Minimally invasive techniques are sought to improve patient outcomes and reduce surgical morbidity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the clinical outcomes and patient morbidity of flapless (FL) implant placement versus full-thickness flap (FT) technique.
    • To evaluate the invasiveness and tissue destruction associated with the flapless approach.

    Main Methods:

    • A split-mouth study involving 11 patients, with 11 implants placed using the FL technique (dermal tissue puncture) and 11 using the FT technique (crestal incision).
    • Postoperative clinical and morbidity evaluations were conducted for both groups.

    Coronoid-Temporalis Pedicled Flap for Orbital Floor Defect Reconstruction

    Published on: December 5, 2025

    Main Results:

    • Flapless implant placement sites exhibited no pain and only mild inflammation.
    • Full-thickness flap sites reported mild to moderate pain and inflammation, with noted gingival overgrowth over the healing cap.
    • Absence of pain and decreased swelling were observed in the flapless group.

    Conclusions:

    • The flapless implant technique is recommended for apprehensive or hyperalgesic patients due to its pain-free and reduced swelling profile.
    • Minimizing periosteal disruption is key to reducing postoperative patient morbidity in implant surgery.
