Flapless (Minimally Invasive) Approach for Dental Implant

Soumyadip Roy

Abstract: Flapless dental implant is a minimally invasive procedure where the dental implant is placed without raising the alveolar mucosa and the periosteum, by just creating a hole using tissue punches thus leading to reduced trauma and lesser healing time. Before we go into details of flapless dental implant and its advantages and disadvantages let?s see a bit about the structure of the bone, periosteum and the gingival mucosa to understand the benefits of the flapless approach.
