The principles of periodontal surgery, in general, do not differ from the surgical principles applied to other parts of the body. In order to perform a successful surgical procedure there are several important aspects to consider, namely: gentle tissue manipulation; firm and precise incisions; careful retraction of the flap; use of a traumatic suture techniques, and promotion of stable wound healing. Well-planned incisions are essential to gain access to the surgical site. When planning the incision, the main considerations must be the anatomy, surgical goal, and the design and a traumatic management of the flap. It is worth emphasizing the importance of a well-sharpened cutting instrument, in order to prevent unnecessary tissue damage. Clean and defined incisions will lead to better healing and less discomfort to the patient.
External Bevel This is an incision contained in the gingiva and directed toward the crown of the tooth, with the object of eliminating pockets, improving gingival contour, and gaining access to the roots. This type of incision is frequently used in conjunction with flap surgeries when it is necessary to thin the tissue externally. It must be performed before folding the flap1. This incision is highly prevalent when performing gingivectomy surgeries [3-8].
