What is teeth quadrants.?

What tooth are in 4-6 quadrants? How many tooth is that? I’m confused as my dentist labeled it as I needed gum flap surgery on it.

Do you know why you are needing flap surgery? There are 4 quadrants (quad means 4 in Latin) in the mouth. There are Upper Right, Upper Left, LL, LR. If you are missing all wisdom teeth (3rd molars) then there are usually 7 teeth per quad.

For periodontal disease it’s my LL and LR on both sides it shows 4-6 quadrants

I think you mean the flap surgery will cover 4 to 6 teeth in the quadrant.

This surgery is needed to save the teeth that are supported by a bone damaged by gum disease.
