What is this procedure called?

What is the procedure called where a flap of gum is removed to allow better cleaning/access to the wisdom tooth? I want to be specific with my oral surgeon. Thank you.

I believe it starts with the letter ' C ' or 'O.' I'll just describe what I want. Thank you!

I'm not sure exactly what type of surgery you're referring to.  Distal wedge flap?
