Questions and Answers

What is the reason for using surgical flaps in oral implantology?

To improve the aesthetic appearance of the implant

To reduce the overall cost of the surgery

To decrease the healing time required for the patient

To gain access to a surgical area or relocate tissue (correct)

What is the difference between flapless surgery and one-stage surgery in implantology?

Flapless surgery and one-stage surgery are the same thing.

Flapless surgery is an older technique than one-stage surgery.

Flapless surgery is a newer technique than one-stage surgery.

Flapless surgery involves creating a flap to gain access to the surgical area, while one-stage surgery does not. (correct)

What is the difference between early surgeries and the one-stage surgery with a healing abutment?

Early surgeries used aggressive full reflection of the surgical area, compromising blood supply, while one-stage surgery with a healing abutment became popular in the 1990s (correct)

Early surgeries were less expensive than the one-stage surgery

One-stage surgery with a healing abutment requires the use of 3D printing of surgical guides based on cone beam computed tomographic imaging
