How is the operation in Turkey going?
First of all, the dentist performs the eviction measurements with a parontodal probe. Then, it reports the depth of the false gingival pockets by bloody points.
Then, he made incisions following a line parallel to the bloody points using an angled blade. The incision is made by following a continuous line in the gum. Finally, the dentist completes the incisions by releasing the gums at the level of the taste buds.
