title: [Incisions in oral surgery].
abstract: Oral mucosa incision can allow several interventions: cellulitis or periodontal abscess opening, gingival tissue excision or repositioning or at least exposure of alveolar bone for tooth extraction or infrabony pockets' treatment. The different incisions are described with special considerations: --on the anatomic environment of the oral cavity (palatal arteries, mandibular nerve...)--on the healing patterns of the different periodontal tissues (rapid cellular turnover of the epithelial attachment for instance)--at last on the suturing for each intervention. The instrumentation needed for the different incisions is described and clinical cases are presented before, during and after oral surgery. The use of an electrical knife is noted with the contraindications of this operative procedure.
