Half way in to a tricky extraction you hear a voice…”Maybe now is a time to raise a flap?”

You ignore this voice and keep sweating with the luxator in hand, because it has been far too long since you raised a flap and you dread the nurse’s reaction.

If this is you, then we got you. I brought on Consultant Oral Surgeon Dr. Sami Stagnell to share his tips and pearls in Oral Surgery, specifically WHEN and HOW to raise cleaner flaps, as well as what types of flaps to consider for each situation and when NOT to consider extending beyond an envelope flap.
