Summary
This study tested a surgical technique called 'distal reduction flap' to reduce deep gum pockets that can form behind the second molar after wisdom tooth removal. The technique involves trimming a small amount of gum tissue and repositioning the gum flap to close the wound tightly. The goal is to prevent bacteria buildup and improve long-term gum health around the second molar.
