TRUE OR FALSE: The flap should be a partial-thickness mucoperiosteal flaps	FALSE

TYPES OF FLAPS:The incision is made in the gingival sulcus and extends along four or five teeth	ENVELOPE FLAP
TYPES OF FLAPS:used for surgery of incisors, premolars and molars, on the labial or buccal and palatal or lingual surface.	ENVELOPE FLAP
TYPES OF FLAPS:This flap is the result of a curved incision, which begins just beneath the vestibular fold and has a bow shaped course with the convex part towards the attached gingiva	SEMILUNAR FLAP
TYPES OF FLAPS:used in apicoectomy and removal of small cysts and root tips	SEMILUNAR FLAP
TYPES OF FLAPS:These flaps are used in surgical procedures of the palate	Result of a Y-shaped and X-shaped incision
TYPES OF FLAPS:Use for oroantral communication	PEDICLE FLAPS
TYPES OF FLAPS(PEDICLE FLAPS):This is a typical trapezoidal flap created buccally, corresponding to the area which is to be covered, and is usually used on dentulous patients	BUCCAL FLAP
TYPES OF FLAPS(PEDICLE FLAPS):It is the result of two oblique incisions that diverge up wards, and extend as far as the tooth socket	BUCCAL FLAP
TYPES OF FLAPS(PEDICLE FLAPS):After creating the flap, the periosteum is incised transversally, making it more elastic so that it may cover the orifice that results from the tooth extraction	BUCCAL FLAP
TYPES OF FLAPS(PEDICLE FLAPS):The _____ is a variation of the buccal flap	oblique buccal flap
TYPES OF FLAPS(PEDICLE FLAPS):It is the result of an anteroposterior incision, so that its base is perpendicular to the buccal area, posterior to the wound	oblique buccal flap
TYPES OF FLAPS(PEDICLE FLAPS):The flap is rotated about 70-80 degree and is placed over the socket	oblique buccal flap
TYPES OF FLAPS(PEDICLE FLAPS):This type of flap is used in edentulous patients so that the vestibular depth is maintained	PALATAL FLAP
TYPES OF FLAPS(PEDICLE FLAPS):The resulting palatal mucoperiosteal flap is rotated posteriorly and buccally, always including the vessels that emerge from the corresponding greater palatine foramen	PALATAL FLAP
TYPES OF FLAPS(PEDICLE FLAPS):After rotation, the flap is placed over the orifice of the socket, the wound margins are debrided, and the flap is sutured with the buccal tissues	PALATAL FLAP
TYPES OF FLAPS(PEDICLE FLAPS):A gingival dressing is applied for a few days at the void created and healing is achieved by secondary intention	PALATAL FLAP
TYPES OF FLAPS(PEDICLE FLAPS):This flap is palatobuccal and is perpendicular to the alveolar ridge	PEDICLE BRIDGE FLAP
TYPES OF FLAPS(PEDICLE FLAPS):After creation, the flap is rotated posteriorly or anteriorly, to cover the orifice of the oroantral communication, without compromising the vestibular fold	PEDICLE BRIDGE FLAP
TYPES OF FLAPS(PEDICLE FLAPS):This type of flap is used only on edentulous parts of the alveolar ridge	PEDICLE BRIDGE FLAP
TYPES OF FLAPS(INDICATIONS):Extensive surgical procedures – like removal of impacted canine with odontoma	TRAPEZOIDAL FLAP
TYPES OF FLAPS(INDICATIONS):Surgical removal of root tips, small cysts and apicoectomy procedures	TRIANGULAR FLAP
TYPES OF FLAPS(INDICATIONS):When the surgical procedure involves the cervical lines of the teeth labially (or buccally) and palatally (or lingually)	ENVELOPE FLAP
TYPES OF FLAPS(INDICATIONS):Apicoectomy (palatal root)	ENVELOPE FLAP
TYPES OF FLAPS(INDICATIONS):Removal of impacted teeth, cysts.	ENVELOPE FLAP
TYPES OF FLAPS:An incision is made along the midline of the palate, as well as two anterolateral incisions, which are anterior to the canines	FLAPS RESULTING FROM Y-SHAPED INCISION
TYPES OF FLAPS:This types of flap are indicated in surgical procedures involving the removal of small exostosis	FLAPS RESULTING FROM Y-SHAPED INCISION
TYPES OF FLAPS:This type of flap is used in larger exostosis and is basically an extension of the Y-shaped incision	FLAP RESULTING FROM X-SHAPED INCISION
TYPES OF FLAPS:The difference is that two more posterolateral incisions are made, which are necessary for adequate access to the surgical field	FLAP RESULTING FROM X-SHAPED INCISION
TYPES OF FLAPS:This flap is designed such that major branches of the greater palatine artery are not damaged	FLAP RESULTING FROM X-SHAPED INCISION
TYPES OF FLAPS(ADVANTAGE):Provides excellent access, allows surgery to be performed on more than one or two teeth	TRAPEZOIDAL FLAP
TYPES OF FLAPS(ADVANTAGE):Produces no tension in the tissues, allows easy reapproximation of the flap to its original position and hastens the healing process	TRAPEZOIDAL FLAP
