Lappoperasjon


Explanation:
"Lappoperasjon" is the term commonly used when talking about a periodontal surgery where a part (or flap) of the gum is loosened and held away from the jawbone. By doing this the surgeon/dentist can access and see more of the tooth than normally, which makes it easier to remove calculus from difficult areas of the tooth.
