Different Surgical Modalities in the Treatment of Periodontitis

SD is a conservative non-surgical procedure aimed at reducing dental plaque and calculus from the tooth root usually under local anaesthesia.

The simplified papilla preservation flap is a novel conservative surgical procedure aimed at the preservation of the tissues between the teeth. It has been shown to significantly reduce pocket depth and has faster re-vascularisation of the flap, when compared with other procedures.

RPFO is a surgical procedure that involves the resection of soft and hard tissue to obtain optimum tissue architecture and pocket reduction or elimination.
