Define Incision - Endodontic Surgery
- Incisions are accomplished by using one of four scalpel blades: No. 11, No. 12, No. 15, and No. 15-C
- Horizontal incision should be made first, followed by the vertical releasing incisions.
- Hold the scalpel handle in a pen grasp and use finger rests on teeth to achieve maximum contour and stability.
- The vertical incision should begin in the alveolar mucosa in coronal direction until it intersects with the horizontal incision.
