Periodontal surgery
Periodontal diseases are very common, their course is diverse, and the prognosis depends on how timely treatment was initiated.
PERIODONTAL SURGERY is surgical interventions that restore the integrity and health of the gums in particular and the entire periodontium as a whole.
In addition to the therapeutic function itself, periodontal surgery can also be aimed at restoring the aesthetics of the gums. After all, for a beautiful smile, it is important not only the health of the teeth themselves, but also the harmonious appearance of the periodontal.
Inflammatory processes in the tissues surrounding the tooth are called periodontitis. As the disease develops, you may notice that your gums have swollen or started to bleed, and the amount of hard and soft dental deposits has increased. There is probably bad breath. It is caused by the vital activity of bacteria that accumulate on and between teeth and gums. If necessary hygienic measures are not taken, bacterial plaque will fall below the level of the necks of the teeth. At the next stage of periodontitis, pathological pockets will begin to form between the gum and the tooth. This space will continue to be filled with dental deposits, and the by-products of bacterial excretion will continue to have a destructive effect on the gums, in particularly advanced cases, the roots of the teeth may be infected. Patients with this diagnosis are haunted by a constant feeling of discomfort in the oral cavity: their teeth are gradually loosening, there is a feeling that they are "not holding on tight."
You may notice the first signs of periodontitis on your own, or your dentist will notice them and recommend treatment. Redness and swelling of the gums, bleeding is a direct reason to consult a periodontist. Modern periodontics allows not only to eliminate pathological gingival pockets, but also to preserve movable teeth.
TYPES OF PERIODONTAL SURGERY
Patchwork operations. The normal size of the gingival sulcus should not exceed 2-3 millimeters. In severe forms of periodontitis, the depth of the gingival pockets increases significantly. If it exceeds 5 mm, most likely, the periodontist will recommend surgery to reduce the pocket. To do this, the doctor will need to incision the periodontal tissue to expose the affected areas and perform curettage - a thorough treatment of the surface of the tooth root and the neck part of the gum from pathological deposits. During the operation, the doctor excises the inner epithelium of the gingival pocket, and the remaining part of the gum is sewn together in the interdental spaces, and thus the tooth receives a new attachment.
GINGIVECTOMY
Sometimes the gum tissue grows, capturing and covering even the visible part of the tooth. This not only spoils the appearance, but also makes it much more difficult to clean teeth and prevents the complete removal of dental deposits. After anesthesia, the periodontist cuts and removes excess tissue, thereby solving both aesthetic and hygienic problems.
Gingivoplasty is performed with the reverse problem, when the necks of the teeth are exposed due to excessive drooping of the gums. Gum recession, unfortunately, can occur at any age (even in children). This is a serious cosmetic defect that greatly reduces the psychological comfort of the patient, and in childhood and adolescence it can even disrupt social adaptation. In such a case, periodontal surgery offers a soft tissue transplant. The transplant is taken from the patient's own tissues (for example, from the palate). After surgery, the exposed necks of the teeth are closed and the normal contours of the gums are restored.
