Clinical Tip: The ‘Book’ Approach to Reflecting a Surgical Flap

Extraction followed by immediate implant placement is an excellent means of addressing the immediate and long-term needs of patients who present with a non-restorable tooth in the anterior. Practitioners who provide this form of treatment will inevitably encounter cases in which a facial defect is present, calling for the reflection of a surgical flap and grafting of the extraction site. In this multimedia presentation, Dr. Jack Hahn explains the “book” approach to reflecting a surgical flap, demonstrating how to identify, graft and position an implant in the presence of a facial defect. Topics include:
Summary
When a facial defect is present at an extraction site, clinicians can place an implant and achieve a predictable outcome by following some straightforward diagnostic and surgical procedures. A flap can be reflected using the book approach to implant surgery, exposing the site for evaluation and bone grafting. By minimizing incisions and helping to maintain hard- and soft-tissue contours, this technique can help clinicians produce esthetic results when immediate tooth replacement is desired.
CAUTION: When viewing the techniques, procedures, theories and materials that are presented, you must make your own decisions about specific treatment for patients and exercise personal professional judgment regarding the need for further clinical testing or education and your own clinical expertise before trying to implement new procedures.
