Flapless implant protocol had been used widely in our practice as a tool for performing minimally invasive dentistry. It provides numerous benefits, such as decreased trauma, short recovery time, less pain, reduced rate of infection, improved patient compliance. A research article from "Clinical Oral Implants Research", Volume 20, Issue 9 - 2009, shows important additional benefits: decreased bone loss and inflammation and improved vascularity. Despite these benefits, we recommend careful consideration when and if the protocol can be applied. 3D imaging is recommended to confirm the availability of bone for insertion of implant with specific size. In case of extraction with desired immediate implant placement, measuring the amount of buccal bone is detrimental. Failure to detect deficient buccal bone leads to late esthetic failures with immediate flapless implants. In these cases, flapless protocol can still be used but not for immediate implants (Denis Tarnow's inverted cone technique for bone regeneration). Least but not last - even with confirmed bone dimensions, placement of implants without raising a flap requires a certain level of experience, skills and sensitivity of the surgeon's hand. This sensitivity, developed thru practice and analysis, relates to the density of the palatal bone compared to the  buccal bone. Same as with the open flap protocol, the surgeon needs to have understanding of implant angulation from restorative point of view. It is harder to apply this principle, and it is easier to make a mistake, when you don't actually see the bone you are working with. The harm of bone perforation and late complications may outweigh the benefit of reduced bone loss with flapless implants. Therefore, choosing an experienced dentist is extremely important when looking for minimally invasive implant surgery.

Our dental office is available for consultations and treatment using flapless implant protocol with predictabe results. Patient feedback, testimonials and contacts  from all over the world can be provided at your request. Our patients can share with you their experience with flapless implants in our office.
