- Abstract
Gingival plastic surgery has been increasingly sought after by patients who are dissatisfied with their smile. The conventional procedure performed is done through a flap elevation to expose bone tissue and subsequent osteotomy or osteoplasty, which leads to the need for sutures and a longer recovery. With the advancement of technology, the Flapless surgery technique, known as minimally invasive and painless, brings a more favorable recovery and satisfactory results. Its main indication for patients with thin and intermediate periodontal biotype, surgical planning should be done with complementary exams, such as tomography, in order to calculate the amount of bone tissue to be removed. After excision of the gingival tissue without opening a flap, the osteotomy/osteoplasty is performed via the gingival sulcus using piezoelectric ultrasound. Clinical and scientific evidence shows that the Flapless technique has satisfactory results in a shorter period of time, without the need for sutures and better postoperative period.
