Remove excess tissue is which surgical procedure?

• A. Excisional Surgery
• B. Incisional Surgery
• C. Osteoplasty
• D. Root Planing

Answer: (A)

The main idea is choosing a procedure based on whether the goal is to remove tissue entirely or just access or modify something else. When the aim is to remove tissue completely, you use an excisional approach. This is used for removing excess soft tissue in one piece, such as gingivectomy to take out surplus gingiva. In contrast, an incisional procedure involves making an incision to access deeper tissue or to remove only part of the tissue, not all of it. Osteoplasty reshapes bone, and root planing cleans and smooths the root surface rather than removing tissue.
