Abstract
The aim of this study was to present and evaluate the authentic “V” shaped flap for surgical endodontic treatment of periapical chronic diseases. The study included 55 patients in good general health, referred to the department of oral surgery for surgical endodontic treatment of maxillary teeth. “V’’ shaped flap was used in all cases. The surgical technique was described. The surgical sites were assessed at several points in time. Our intraoperative and postoperative clinical findings regarding the implementation of the vestibular “V’’ flap in surgical treatment of periapical chronic diseases, have confirmed its individuality. It was easy to perform the procedure which enabled atraumatic retraction with abundant blood supply and repositioning with a few stitches. Even without premedication, the following day 65.4% of the patients experienced no pain, and mild swelling of the surgical site was evident in all cases. The healing was complete, without any signs of tissue retraction and dehiscence.
