Study aim
-
Determining the flap design (between envelope flap and comma flap) which has the least post-op complications such as : pain, edema, trismus, wound dehiscence, any alteration in lingual nerver sensation and alveolar osteitis
-
Design
-
Clinical trial with control group, single blinded, split mouth, randomized, on 25 patients (50 patients overall), for randomizing coin flipping is used.
-
Settings and conduct
-
On patients whom selected in oral and maxillofacial section of Islamic Azad university of Tabriz two flaps will be designed. comma flap: starting from a point at the depth of stretched vestibular reflection, posterior to the 2nd molar distal aspect, the incision is made anteriorly, to a point below the second molar, from where it smoothly curved up to the gingival crest at the 2nd molar distobuccal line angle. it is continued as a crevicular incision around the distal aspect of the 2nd molar. envelope flap: an incision from external oblique ridge of mandible to 2nd molar middistobuccal line angle will be made. additionally a sulcular incision on 2nd molar distofacial line angle will be made and continued up to 1st molar mesiofacial line angle.
