PERIODONTAL (GUM) SURGERY
Splinting of mobile teeth
- Splinting mobile teeth with 1degree mobility or traumatized tooth with adjacent firm teeth with the help of Splinting material made up of braided glass fibre impregnated with light cured composite resin.
Crown lengthening Surgery
- The purpose of this surgery is to expose more tooth to the oral cavity for the purpose of improved esthetics, improved eleansibilty, or to allow the restorative dentist to restore a badly broken down tooth. To accomplish this surgery, gum tissue and/or the bone around the teeth in question are reshaped by the surgeon
Mucogingival (gingivectomy) Surgery
- The Purpose of this surgery is to improve the esthetics of the gums, cover exposed root surface, or to provide more suitable gum tissue around the teeth. To accomplish this procedure, gum tissue may be transplanted from one area of the mouth to another. The roof of the mouth is frequently used as the donor site and a protective plastic liner may be used to protect the area from where the donor tissue is taken.
Regenerative Surgery
- The purpose of this procedure is to regenerate previously lost oral tissues such as bone,cementum, and/or periodontal ligament. To accomplish this procedure, materials such as bone grafts and membranes may be used. These material may come from human or animal donor sources. The materials are taken under sterile conditions from donors with no known systemic diseases and blood tests that are negative for infection. The tissues are processed under sterile conditions, tested for bacterial contamination and are stored in a vacuum-sealed sterile container. To date, no transmission of infection or disease has ever been documented with dental regenerative grafting materials.
Replaced Flap Surgery
- The purpose of this procedure is to gain access to tooth and bone surfaces affected by periodontal disease. To accomplish this procedure, the gum tissue is reflected back allowing the surgeon to visualize the teeth and bone. The root surfaces are then thoroughly cleaned and the gum tissue is then replaced to its original position.
