Flapless implantology Effect on sulcus depth around the implant 

A comparison of the flap and flapless procedures showed that the sulcus depth was significantly deeper in the implants placed using the flapless procedure.

Approximately three months after implant placement, the average pocket probing depths for the flap and flapless procedures were 1.7 mm and 1.0 mm, respectively.

Flapless implant surgery is quite advantageous in terms of reducing the sulcus depth around the implants.

The effectiveness of hygiene decreases with increasing sulcus depth. Therefore, the sulcus depth should be reduced in order to enable the patients to perform effective daily hygiene.

Maintaining a good environment for the health of the tissue adjacent to the implant will ensure the success of the implant.
