Bacteria and toxic substances that cause inflammation are removed from the mouth with these procedures. If calculus is constantly occurring in the mouth despite brushing and using dental floss, calculus cleaning should be done regularly (every 6 months).
curettage ; Curettage is applied if tartar and harmful tissues cover the gap between the gingiva and the root of the tooth. Tartars and harmful tissues on the root surface of the tooth are removed and the gingiva is ensured to tightly wrap the root surface.
Flap Operation; If the harmful tissues on the root surface cannot be removed sufficiently by curettage and curettage will not be sufficient, that area is opened surgically. Harmful tissues are cleaned. If bone loss is too much in the opened area, artificial bone graft or bone tissues taken from the patient can be applied during the procedure.
As in many areas, the most important assistant of dentists in gum diseases is LASER. In gingival treatments, gingival problems are solved by using the sterilization and decontamination feature of the laser.
Gum diseases constitute the majority of tooth loss in adults. Gum treatment is the basic treatment in dentistry and the chance of success is high in early intervention in gum diseases.
