This flap is reflected beyond the mucogingival junction:

  1. Partial thickness flap

  2. Full thickness flap

  3. Apical repositioning flap

  4. Lateral repositioning flap

The correct answer is: Apical repositioning flap

The correct answer is Apical repositioning flap because this type of flap involves reflecting the flap beyond the mucogingival junction to expose the underlying bone and allow for repositioning of the soft tissue more apically. This technique is often used in periodontal surgery to gain access to deeper areas of the tooth and bone structure for treatment or to facilitate better access for procedures like crown lengthening. The other options are incorrect because: - A Partial thickness flap involves reflecting the flap to the level of the mucogingival junction. - A Full thickness flap involves reflecting the flap beyond the mucogingival junction but not repositioning the tissue apically. - A Lateral repositioning flap involves repositioning the flap laterally rather than apically.
