Impaction is one of the most common surgical procedures in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. This could be done either for therapeutic or prophylactic reasons. The surgery which exploits both the soft and hard tissues result in the post operative reactions like pain, swelling and trismus. The possible complications are bleeding, dry socket, nerve injury, infection etc. Flap design is one of the factors responsible for the severity of post-operative sequelae. The reduction of post-operative complications leads to the success of surgical outcomes. Several flap designs have been evolved as years passed for reducing the post-operative sequelae. This manuscript reviews various important flap techniques and evaluates its role in the success of third molar impaction.
