Penner JK, Deas DE, Mills MP, et al. - In this investigation, researchers explored the connection between immediate postsurgical flap position and subsequent probing depth measurements following osseous surgery [commonly performed surgical technique for the treatment of periodontitis]. Twenty-four patients have been registered for treatment planned for osseous surgery after initial therapy and re-evaluation. With a total of 402 treated sites, 24 patients completed surgical treatment and follow-up measurements. The data presented in this work showed a statistically significant link between immediate postsurgical flap placement and subsequent probing depths. Positioning the surgical flap closer to the alveolar crest led in shallower probing depths at 3 and 6 months when performing osseous surgery.
