FLEXIBLE GINGIVA HOLDING CLIP

Abstract

Abstract 2Q,-Oct-2024/130651/202441082055/Form 2(Title Page) Flap elevation is an essential technique in dental surgery, serving as a vital step for accessing underlying tissues or to provide therapy during various surgical procedures. Although traditional instruments like fixed-angle periosteal elevators have been commonly employed for this purpose, they often lack the flexibility and precision needed to address complex anatomical variations. The limitations of these conventional tools can result in complications such as excessive tissue trauma, extended healing times, and increased fatigue for the operator, underscoring the necessity for enhanced surgical instruments. The Solution provided in this Flexible Gingiva Holding Clip is it helps in holding the reflected gingiva in position during surgical procedures.

Specification

Introduction
Flap elevation in oral surgery, periodontics, and implantology has traditionally relied on fixed-angle instruments like periosteal elevators. While functional, these tools often lack flexibility, making it difficult to adapt to complex anatomical structures and requiring greater force in challenging areas, increasing the risk of soft tissue trauma and postoperative complications.
Flap elevation is an essential technique in dental surgery, serving as a vital step for accessing underlying tissues or to provide therapy during various surgical procedures. Although traditional instruments like fixed-angle periosteal elevators have been commonly employed for this purpose, they often lack the flexibility and precision needed to address complex anatomical variations. The limitations of these conventional tools can result in complications such as excessive tissue trauma, extended healing times, and increased fatigue for the operator, underscoring the necessity for enhanced surgical instruments.

Background History
Traditional periosteal elevators and other fixed-angle instruments have been widely used in oral surgery for flap elevation. However, their rigid design limits adaptability to varying anatomical conditions, often resulting in excessive force application, increased tissue trauma, and difficulty in accessing confined areas. This can lead to prolonged recovery times and suboptimal surgical outcomes.
Current instruments also contribute to operator fatigue during extended procedures due to their limited ergonomic support. There exists a need for an improved instrument that provides greater control over the angle and pressure during flap elevation, reduces tissue trauma, and enhances ease of use, particularly in
challenging surgical environments.

Objectives
1. To provide a versatile flap elevator that allows for precise control over the angle and pressure applied during flap elevation, improving access to anatomical structures and minimizing the risk of soft tissue trauma.
2. To design a component that reduces operator fatigue by allowing for comfortable handling and less forceful manipulation during surgical procedures, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the surgery .
3. To create a surgical tool that promotes atraumatic handling of soft tissues, contributing to better postoperative outcomes, reduced healing times, and improved patient comfort during and after dental procedures.

Summary of the Invention
A Gingival flap surgery is a procedure where your gums pulled and folded back to give the doctor access to the root and bone area of your teeth. It's really not as painful as it sounds. It's used for those with gum diseases like periodontitis.
The procedure is very simple; Local anaesthetic is given to numb the area and j surgical scalpel is used to remove the tissue. No stiches are usually needed.
Flap surgery is painless because local anesthesia is used when performing it. In some cases, oral surgeons accompany local anesthesia with oral anti-anxiety medications.
Otherwise, they use intravenous conscious sedation.
The Solution provided in this Flexible Gingiva Holding Clip is it helps in holding
