- This kit was designed by Dr. Joseph Choukroun to extend the flap without the need for incision
- The concept of this product is to disorganize the collagen fibers of the fibrous periosteum
- This reduces the stiffness of the flap allowing the flap to release farther
- This kit does not cut anything at all
- The flap is released as a result of the separation of the periosteum fibers
Techniques
- There are two brushing methods that can be used
- Soft pressure and moderate pressure. When moving Apically to Coronally you want to brush softly
- When moving Coronally to Apically you want to apply more pressure when brushing
- You can begin brushing when the full thickness of the flap is elevated, making sure to brush as deep as possible
- Pull the flap back with forceps and start brushing with the small size (regular or angulated for the posterior area)
- After the first release you can use the medium or large for large flap areas
- This allows you to extend the flap significantly with minimal trauma
- In the lingual flap, it is very easy to separate the mylohyoid muscle very gently by just by brushing
- It is also possible to brush the periosteam of the lingual flap
- Take the headache out of flap surgery, and increase your ability to gain primary closure with the ST-UP Soft Brushing Kit
