What is a Laser Flap?


Flap surgeries are the most effective, quick, painless, and highly precise means of treating periodontal problems that are not otherwise responding to periodontal treatments. Laser flaps refer to the removal of the gums and treating the infections underneath the gingiva, such as by reshaping the affected tissue or bones, removing the infected part of the tooth, or augmenting the gum shape.

The use of lasers in periodontal surgery can offer several benefits, including reduced bleeding, swelling, and discomfort, as well as faster healing times compared to traditional surgical techniques.

When Should You Go for Laser Flap Treatment?


Flap treatment is advised for people who have periodontitis, ANUG (acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis), or other periodontal diseases that cause severe gum degeneration and mobile teeth.If you experience loosening of the teeth and receding gums, laser flap treatment is the right treatment for you. Along with the flap surgery, your dentist may also recommend tissue regeneration procedures or grafts to enhance gingival health.

Classic Signs Suggestive of Laser Flap Treatment


Gum disease

Severe gum diseases that show classic signs of gingival diseases including red, swollen, or bleeding gums, as well as bad breath and loose teeth may be suggestive of gum diseases which may be corrected with the flap treatment.

Deep pockets

Gum diseases when advanced they form deep pockets between the teeth and gums, allowing bacteria to accumulate and causing further damage. Laser flap treatment can be used to remove the affected tissue and reshape the bone, promoting healing and reducing the depth of these pockets.

Receding gums

When the gums recede or pull away from the teeth, the roots can become exposed, leading to sensitivity and an increased risk of decay. Laser flap treatment can be used to remove the affected tissue and stimulate the growth of healthy gum tissue.

Loose teeth

In severe cases of gum disease, the bone supporting the teeth can become weakened, leading to loose or shifting teeth. Laser flap treatment.

Procedure of Laser Flap Surgery


Before starting the procedure of laser surgery, the dentist will determine the condition of the gums, the overall oral health and the underlying bone to assess the prognosis. The evaluation will be done through xrays and intraoral scans.

  • Anaesthesia: The patient is given a local anaesthetic to numb the surgical area
  • Incision: A small incision is made in the gum tissue to reflect a full thickness flap to gain access to the area around the tooth.
  • Laser treatment: Once the access is gained, a specialised dental laser is used to remove the infected gum tissue and bacteria from around the tooth.
  • Scaling and root planing: After the cleaning, the dentist may use hand instruments to remove any remaining plaque and tartar from the tooth's surface and root.
  • Flap closure: After the debridement, the gum flap is repositioned and sutured back into place or a new position depending upon the type of treatment.
  • Follow upsThe dentist may prescribe pain medications or antibiotics to help with pain and reduce the risk of infection.
