Abstract: The progress and development of new surgical techniques, imaging technology, and back-fill materials have greatly improved the success rate in endodontic surgery. At the same time, doctors have also begun to pay attention to the aesthetic defect of gingiva following surgery, such as gingival recession, "black triangles", and scar formation. Previous scholars believed that different incision designs had varying effects on postoperative gingival aesthetics, but in recent years, there have been few literature reports on this topic. Starting from the characteristics and indications of different incision designs, this article reviews the impact of incision types on the aesthetic effect of gingiva after apical surgery and related evaluation indicators, in order to provide some references for selecting appropriate incision designs in clinical work.

Key words: endodontic surgery, incisions techniques, gingival recession, gingival scar
