Incision Decision–The Fundamentals of Dental Surgical Incisions (English) > 치과(원서)

Due to the influence of my father, who was a professor in Philosophy, I always take an academic approach when writing books, but I often miss out on the fun, so I intentionally add fun elements.
Fortunately, challenges such as doing a parody of the movie “Back to the Future” or imitating the vitamin counter at a pharmacy have received positive reviews from many readers, for which I am deeply grateful.
Unfortunately, “Incision Decision” written this time does not have many fun elements. Rather, it is a book designed to leave out the fun lements and include only information so serious that it can be read like ‘Yellow Pages books’ in a sense. This is because I changed my mind a lot after hearing from the clinicians that it was too much of a burden to read thick books after busy clinical hours.
Personally, I am very touched to be able to summarize and present to the readers what I have felt while thinking about and learning about various incision methods over the past 10 years. I have compiled what I have studied and tried to cover ‘everything about incision’, and I hope this will be a good guide for clinicians.

I believe that “Incision Decision” contains not only incision designs but also everything else about surgery. Therefore, I believe that just by looking at one incision, you can imagine how the surgery will be approached and what the surgery will be like.
Unfortunately, current dental school curriculum omits the gravity of the incisions. All you have to do is learn the difference between primary healing and secondary healing in a histology class,
and years later learn a few simple incision techniques with still pictures in a surgery class.
At the periodontology department, they show you a lot of cross-sectional pictures of flap surgery and ask you to memorize the name. Although I was able to learn various designs of flaps in periodontics
and surgery through specialist training, I ended up only using the usual incision method and it was difficult to experience various methods.
The book of war called “The Book of Five Rings,” written by the legendary Japanese samurai, Miyamoto Musashi, does not contain amazing know-how on how to use a sword, but rather discuss “earth, water, fire, wind, sky.” It is said that it contains the story of ‘emptiness’ and the mindset of a warrior. This book, “Incision Decision,” also emphasizes healing and treatment planning rather than surgical blades and incisions. This is because handling the blade is not simply meant to cut the gums, but to ensure complete healing of the gums.
The blade does not cut tissue. It just divides the space between cells. And behind the blade, the tissue will be gently separated and divided.
