It is classified as access flap operation as the main goal of this is to provide access and visibility to the periodontally involved tissues. It is characterized by precise incision, partial flap reflection with an atraumatic procedure. The main aim is to provide healing (regeneration or long junctional epithelium formation) and not necessarily pocket elimination. Post-operative pain and swelling are minimal as the as the alveolar bone is partially exposed. This article gives an outline about the history, indications, contraindications, advantages, disadvantages, procedure and the healing.
