It may be necessary to restore or repair the damage caused by periodontal disease using surgical techniques.
According to the stages of development of periodontal disease, gum surgery will aim to:
Remove Tartar below the Gums
This procedure involves taking off the gum near the tooth to the root and remove the biofilm and calculus in it. This technique can promote complete the healing of the gum to the tooth and thus remove the periodontal pocket.
Restore Bone
This procedure involves filling with synthetic materials or autologous transplantation of bone loss .
Restore the Gum Tissue
Two approaches are possible to reverse the gum recession caused:
. Establishment of a membrane (resorbable or not) to restore the damaged gum. This membrane forms a barrier and allows new tissue to grow back.
. Autograft of the gum.
Relieve the Oral Mucosa
In cases of inflammatory or traumatic gum disease, the use of local applications may be recommended.
