Flapless implantology Advantages of flapless implant surgery

The ability to protect soft tissue

The amount of tissue injury can influence the speed and quality of the healing process. Surgical trauma can damage the soft tissues when implants are placed with flap elevation.

Furthermore, the conditions for wound healing around implants are poor when the soft tissues are approximated around the permucosal healing abutment with a suture. Thid is because the wound edges around the implants are not completely closed and hematomas can form beneath the flap.

However, there is less soft tissue trauma in flapless implant surgery because the tissues are not reflected.

the most common postoperative complication of implant surgery is opening of the incision line. The opening of the sutured area aggravates and lengthens the inflammatory phase of repair, leaving more scar tissue.
