E N D
Overview • Surgery is recommended to correct or improve a problem with your gums that is affecting your periodontal health.
Treatment • Your periodontist may recommend surgery for the following reasons: If you have advanced gum disease that does not respond to non surgical management. You may need a flap surgery or pocket reduction surgery • An incision is made in the gums under local anaesthesia • The gums are folded away exposing the roots of the affected teeth • Residual tartar and infected tissue are removed and the root surfaces cleaned. • Affected bone is re-contoured • The flap is then sewn back around the tooth
Treatment • To replace, regenerate tissue lost through gum disease • Some surgical procedures may be recommended to regenerate part of the bone and supporting tissues previously lost to disease. • Membranes and bone grafts are used to partially restore and strengthen the support of the teeth. This type of surgery is known as guided tissueregeneration / bone graft surgery. • Your graft may compose small fragments of your own bone or it may be synthetic or donated.
Treatment • to improve appearance/aesthetics of your gum line (muco-gingival surgery) • Exposed root surfaces of teeth due to gum recession result in a longer looking tooth which may contribute to a “toothy” smile • A soft tissue graft taken from your palate or other areas in your mouth is used to cover the exposed root to give your tooth a more cosmetically pleasant appearance.
Treatment • to expose more of the tooth structure for a dental restoration (crown lengthening surgery) • If your tooth has decay below the gum line, or has insufficient tooth structure for a restoration surgery may be advised to adjust the gum and bone level to increase exposure of the tooth. • during this procedure, gum and bone tissue are reshaped to expose the extent of the decay or fracture. This will provide both sufficient tooth structure and accessibility for subsequent placement of a restoration.
