What is the term for removing bone and moving tissues apically to purposely create a Glickman Class IV?

  1. Flapping

  2. Osseous recontouring

  3. Tunneling

  4. Root planing

The correct answer is: Tunneling

Tunneling is the appropriate term for removing bone and moving tissue for the purpose of creating a Glickman Class IV. Flapping is a term used in periodontal surgery to describe the elevation of soft tissue flaps for access to the underlying bone and root surfaces. Osseous recontouring is a term used to describe the reshaping of the alveolar bone after a surgical procedure. Root planing is a technique used to remove plaque and calculus from the root surfaces of teeth. None of these options specifically refer to the process of creating a Glickman Class IV, making them incorrect choices.
