    A novel endodontic flap design offers an alternative surgical approach. This technique ensures rapid healing and excellent esthetic outcomes for endodontic procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Oral Surgery

    Background:

    • Current endodontic flap designs may present limitations in terms of surgical execution and patient outcomes.
    • A need exists for alternative flap designs that optimize surgical procedures and enhance healing.
    • This study introduces a novel endodontic flap design as a potential improvement.

    Observation:

    • The presented endodontic flap involves a full-thickness dissection.
    • It utilizes easily recognizable anatomical landmarks and straight-line incisions for precise execution.
    • A key feature is a beveled horizontal incision designed to maximize facial keratinized tissue incorporation.

    Findings:

    • The described flap design preserves interproximal tissues, facilitating easier flap replacement.
    • Interrupted sutures are used for reapproximation to stable interproximal papillae.

  • The technique demonstrates rapid healing and superior esthetic results post-operatively.
  • Implications:

    • This endodontic flap design may serve as a valuable alternative for clinicians seeking improved surgical predictability.
    • The emphasis on preserving keratinized tissue and simplifying closure contributes to enhanced patient recovery.
    • Further clinical evaluation could establish this technique as a standard of care for specific endodontic surgical scenarios.
