Abstract
Objective: To describe an esthetic flap design for surgical endodontics in the anterior zone and to discuss the treatment outcome.
Clinical significance: Traditional flaps used in apical surgery in the anterior region are created with horizontal and vertical incisions. These incisions do not completely avoid scarring, and may sometimes cause esthetic defects. We describe an envelope flap with no vertical incision for apical surgery in anterior that mainly consists of oblique incision in interproximal papilla. The approach achieve rapid would healing while avoiding scar formation.
Conclusions: The present report describes successfully treated cases of surgical endodontics in the esthetic zone using an envelope flap that the author recommend in order to achieve better esthetic results.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry (JERD) is the longest standing peer-reviewed journal devoted solely to advancing the knowledge and practice of esthetic dentistry. Its goal is to provide the very latest evidence-based information in the realm of contemporary interdisciplinary esthetic dentistry through high quality clinical papers, sound research reports and educational features.
The range of topics covered in the journal includes:
- Interdisciplinary esthetic concepts
- Implants
- Conservative adhesive restorations
- Tooth Whitening
- Prosthodontic materials and techniques
- Dental materials
- Orthodontic, periodontal and endodontic esthetics
- Esthetics related research
- Innovations in esthetics
