Gingival flap surgery is a dental procedure used to gain access to the root surfaces of teeth for thorough cleaning or treatment of periodontal diseases. The gum tissue is lifted and folded back, creating a flap that exposes the tooth roots. Debridement, scaling, and planing can then be performed, followed by repositioning and securing the flap in place to promote healing.
