[Lateral sliding flaps in mucogingival surgery].
Reference is made to parodontal surgery techniques employing lateral sliding flaps mucogingival for the treatment of gingival schisis. Grupe & Warren (1965) proposed the use of a flap from the parts contiguous to that affected by the schisis. The technique was then developed by the introduction of bipapillar flaps and a flap taken from a toothless saddle. All operations using sliding flaps form part of the most difficult area in mucogingival surgery, due to difficulty of securing the "taking" of the flap on the root cement of the parts affected by schisis.
