PRE-PROCEDURAL RINSING Safety for both Patient and Clinician A pre-procedural rinse of 0.12% CHX reduces risk of IE (formerly SBE ) (Pts) and reduces airborne oral microbes (Staff) Worrall, SF,. Br Dent J 1987;163:118-119.

Incision Design external bevel incision marginal / internal bevel incision submarginal incision sulcular incision crestal para-crestal
Incision Design Marginal vs. Sulcular Histological study of sulcular incision flaps vs. internal bevel incision flaps in humans By 21 days of healing, the 2 surgical methods were indistinguishable histologically It is suggested that the inverse bevel primary incision traditionally advocated for apically positioned flap surgeries may be replaced by the more rapid and simple sulcular incision as the preferred technique. Pippin 1990
Incision Design external bevel incision marginal / internal bevel incision submarginal incision sulcular incision crestal para-crestal
Incision Design Edentulous ridge incisions crestal preferred design para-crestal access keratinized tissue incision line placement
Incision Design loss of blood flow in area coronal to horizontal incisions loss of vascularity as the width of the flap decreased; recommended the width be at least half the height of the flap loss of vascularity when flaps were placed under tension Mormann, 1977
Periodontal Dressings 3 major reasons to use to protect wounds postsurgically to obtain and maintain close adaptation of flap to bone for patient comfort
Periodontal Dressings Coe-Pak (mix), Barricaid (light cure) incorporating antibacterial components probably is not effective Sanz et al., 1989: dressings with CHX rinses were better than dressings with a placebo rinse in terms of plaque formation, GI, and probably patient comfort antibacterial mouth rinsing alone may be more effective than rinsing with a dressing
