Gingival Flaps- Small Animal Denistry

Front 1

What are the 6 types of gingival flaps that are can be used in small animal dentistry?

Back 1

1. full-thickness flap
2. partial or splint-thickness flap
3. Envelope Flap
4. Apically repositioned flap
5. Reverse bevel flap
6. Laterally positioned flap

Front 2

What type of procedures is a full thickness flap used for?

Back 2

-used to gain visibility and access for osseous surgery, root planning, and pocket elimination

Front 3

Does a full thickness flap include the periosteum?

Back 3

yes

Front 4

What type of procedure is a partial or splint-thickness (mucosal) flap used for?

Back 4

-where there are thin bony plates
-in areas of dehiscence or fenestration where bone must be protected
- in areas where bone loss is permanent

Front 5

Which periosteal flap leaves the periosteum at the donor site, avoids larger blood vessels and allows suture placement in the periosteum?

Back 5

partial or splint-thickness flap

Front 6

When is an envelope flap used?

Back 6

-used to expose gingival pockets through intrasulcular incisions

Front 7

Which periosteal flap is a conservative version of a full-thickness flap and elevates coronal to the mucogingival line?

Back 7

envelope flap

Front 8

Where is your releasing incision made to create an envelope flap?

Back 8

-horizontally made along the alveolar margin at least one tooth distal and two teeth mesial to the site of operation.

Front 9

What are the 4 other flap variations of an envelope flap?

Back 9

1. triangular flap
2. pedicle flap
3. curved or semilunar flap
4. access flap

Front 10

What is the modification used in a triangular flap (of an envelope flap)? Where in the mouth is this flap used?

Back 10

-over the maxillary canine teeth
-this is an envelope flap with a vertical releasing incision- the papilla is included in the mesial extent of the incision to make repositioning and suturing easier.

Front 11

What is the modification used in a pedicle flap (of an envelope flap)?

Back 11

An envelope flap made with two vertical relaxing incisions

Front 12

Which type of flap is made in attached or unattached gingiva for periapical endodontic surgical access for retrival of small root tips? (the gingival sulcus is not involved)

Back 12

curved or semilunar flap (a type of modified envelope flap)

Front 13

What does the modified envelope flap- Access flap expose?

Back 13

exposes the involved root surfaces and alveolar margins for visualization and instrumentation

Front 14

Which modified envelope flap is not reflective past the crestal bone= gives the vet exposure to the infrabony defects and root surfaces= the defects can be carefully curetted and root surfaces planed appropriately.

Back 14

Access Flap
