Flapless Surgery in Dental Implants

Flapless surgery is only recommended in limited cases with excellent bone quality and bone mass because it is a blind technique. Fenestration can occur in regions with bony concavities such as the anterior or premolar teeth of the maxilla. In these cases, extra attention is needed to avoid fenestration in placement of dental implants. Flapless surgery should also be avoided in patients with periodontal problems.

Flapless surgery is an atraumatic method. Its main advantage is, it has less post operative edema and less soft tissue atrophy. It is a method usually used in placement of mini dental implants (MDI).
