Flap Surgeries
Advanced periodontal surgery for deep-seated gum disease
What is Flap Surgeries?
Periodontal flap surgery is indicated when non-surgical treatments (scaling and root planing) have not been sufficient to eliminate deep infection and bone loss. Dr. Barman — a specialist in periodontics with over 500 flap surgeries performed — creates a small incision in the gum to fold back the tissue, allowing direct access for thorough cleaning of root surfaces, removal of infected tissue, and bone repair.
Key Benefits
Eliminates Deep Infection
Direct access allows complete removal of calculus, bacteria, and diseased tissue from deep pockets.
Stops Bone Loss
Removing infection and bacteria halts the progressive destruction of supporting bone.
Bone Regeneration
Bone grafting and regenerative membranes can be placed during surgery to rebuild lost bone.
Saves Teeth
In cases that would otherwise result in tooth loss, flap surgery provides a last line of defence.
Reduces Pocket Depth
Surgical reshaping of gum tissue reduces pocket depths, making home cleaning more effective.

How It Works — Step by Step
Pre-surgical Assessment
Comprehensive periodontal charting, CBCT imaging, and review of medical history before planning surgery.
Local Anaesthesia
The surgical area is thoroughly numbed. You remain conscious and comfortable throughout.
Incision & Flap Elevation
A precise incision is made and the gum tissue is gently folded back to expose root surfaces and bone.
Debridement
All calculus, bacteria, and infected granulation tissue are meticulously removed from root surfaces.
Bone Grafting (if needed)
Bone graft material may be placed to regenerate lost bone; a regenerative membrane guides tissue healing.
Suturing & Healing
Gum tissue is repositioned and sutured. Sutures are removed after 7–10 days; healing monitored at follow-ups.
Frequently Asked Questions
The surgery is performed under local anaesthesia so you feel no pain during the procedure. Post-operative soreness is managed with prescribed medications and typically resolves within a week.
Most patients resume normal activities within 24–48 hours. Soft diet for 1–2 weeks. Suture removal at 7–10 days.
Flap surgery is designed to save teeth. Success rates are very high when combined with good home oral hygiene and maintenance appointments.
The number of sessions depends on how many areas are affected. Often the mouth is divided into quadrants and treated over 1–2 surgical visits.
