“…13 When procedures have been compared, interdental resection following subgin gival curettage resulted in more pocket reduction than subgingival curettage alone, 6 and gingivectomy reduced pocket depths more than subgingival curettage. 7,8 Re verse bevel flap procedures reduced mean pocket depth similarly with or without osseous surgery. 13 When changes in attachment levels were considered, a significant apical shift of the attachment occurred following reverse bevel flap procedures with and with out osseous contouring.…”

“…Short term pocket reduction may be achieved by a wide variety of treatment modalites including subgingi val curettage, 6-8 gingivectomy 7,8,10,11 interdental re section, 6 reverse bevel flap procedure with lingual gingivectomy, 9,12 and reverse bevel flap procedure with or without osseous contouring. 13 When procedures have been compared, interdental resection following subgin gival curettage resulted in more pocket reduction than subgingival curettage alone, 6 and gingivectomy reduced pocket depths more than subgingival curettage.…”

Short term data were obtained from 74 patients who recieved comprehensive periodontal treatment using a split mouth approach to test three variables; subgingival curettage, pocket elimination surgery, and modified Widman flap procedure. The patients initially had an average interproximal loss of attachment of 3.2 mm and an average interproximal pocket depth of 3.9 mm. Evaluation of the data indicate that after 4 to 6 weeks: 1. All three surgical procedures reduce pocket depths. In order of effectiveness they are: pocket elimination surgery, modified Widman flap, and subgingival curettage. 2. Pocket elimination surgery reduces pockets more than subgingival curettage on the buccal, lingual and interproximal, and more than the modified Widman flap on the lingual. The modified Widman flap procedure reduces pockets more interproximally than subgingival curettage. 3. Subgingival curettage results in a gain of attachment interproximally, and on the lingual side, while the modified Widman flap resulted in a gain of attachment interproximally only. 4 Pocket elimination surgery resulted in a loss of attachment buccally. 5 Subgingival curettage results in a more favorable postoperative attachment level on all surfaces than did pocket elimination surgery.
