[Comparative clinical study of modified Widman flap and incisional curettage techniques].

Abstract

In this study modified Widman flap and incisional curettage techniques were compared on ten patients who had symmetrical defects with moderate pocketlevels. (5-6 mm) Different techniques were applied on different segments of upper anterior teeth of the patients. At the end of the observation period of three months inter and intra group comparisons were made biometrically according to the following parameters: PI (Löe-Silness) GI (Silness-Löe), pocket depth level, gingival fluid flow rate, gingival margin position and attachment level. Results of this study showed that, there was no difference between two techniques. It may be proposed to apply incisional curettage technique on the patients with moderate pocket depth.
