What is the most important procedure to perform during the initial postoperative visit after periodontal surgery?

Plaque removal
Suture removal
Application of desensitizing agents
Fluoride application

The correct answer is: Plaque removal

The most important procedure to perform during the initial postoperative visit after periodontal surgery is plaque removal. This is important because plaque buildup can lead to inflammation and infection in the surgical site, hindering the healing process and potentially causing complications. Suture removal, application of desensitizing agents, and fluoride application may also be important, but they should not take priority over thorough plaque removal. Plaque removal is crucial for maintaining good oral hygiene and promoting proper healing after periodontal surgery.
