<![CDATA[Odontectomy is one of the surgical procedures used to remove impacted teeth. Flap design is an important variable in oral surgery procedures, as it is useful for optimal visibility, access to the surgical area, and the healing process. Although envelope flaps and triangular flaps are the most commonly used designs, complications following odontectomy still frequently occur. This article dis-cusses the use of an alternative flap design, the reversed triangular flap, in relation to post-odontectomy complications of the third molar in the lower jaw. The selection of the reversed triangular flap showed a lower incidence of dehiscence and lower bleeding scores compared to the triangular flap. The use of the reversed triangular flap also showed a lower incidence of dehiscence com-pared to the envelope flap. It is concluded that the reversed triangular flap can be used as a safe flap design option with minimal post-odontectomy effects compared to the triangular flap and envelope flap.]]>
