A surgery in a posterior sextant will be performed per patient. The surgical procedures being compared for their post-operative healing patterns are: Simplified Papilla Preservation Flap (SPPF) which is a conservative flap aiming at preserving the tissues between teeth. Resective Periodontal Flap with Osseous Recontouring (RPFO) which is a conventional surgery which involves hard and soft tissues resection. Geometric (3D) surface imaging and thermal (2D) surface imaging will be used to assess the post-operative healing patterns and comorbidities (facial swelling, oedema and inflammation) following either of the surgical procedures.
