Periodontal surgery

Gum disease, also known as periodontitis, is a dangerous gum infection that harms soft tissue and, if left untreated, can kill the bone that supports your teeth. Periodontitis can result in tooth loss eventually. Healthy gums are firm, pale pink, and closely encircle teeth.

Symptoms and Signs of Periodontitis

• Puffy or swollen gums
• Gums that are bright red, dark red, or purple
• Your gums feel soft when touched
• Bleeding gums
• Bleeding from the gums while brushing
• Foul breath
• Pus oozing out from the teeth
• Loose teeth
• Difficulty in chewing
• Spaces developing between your teeth
• Your teeth appear longer than usual because of receding gums
• A change in the biting pattern of your teeth

Risk Factors for Periodontitis

You may be more susceptible to developing periodontitis if you have:

• Gingivitis
• Poor oral hygiene practices
• Chewing or smoking tobacco
• Hormonal changes, such as those brought on by menopause or pregnancy
• Recreational drug usage, such as vaping or smoking marijuana
• Obesity
• Inadequate dietary intake, especially a lack of vitamin C
• Genetics
• Certain medications that result in gum changes or dry mouth
• Diseases like leukaemia, HIV/AIDS, and cancer treatment that lower immunity
• Certain diseases, such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and Crohn’s disease

Treatment for Gingivitis

The goal of the treatment is to remove plaque and bacterial deposits from your teeth and gums.

Oral Hygiene Techniques

To reduce the number of bacteria in your mouth, your dental care team will provide you with advice on how to keep your teeth and gums clean. We will give you instructions on how to use dental floss and brushes properly and may also recommend other products for maintaining good oral hygiene, like mouthwash or a water pick.

Surgery

If irritation develops in locations that are inaccessible to brushing and flossing, we may propose a surgical treatment called flap surgery to clear deposits under your gums. Your gums are raised under anaesthesia and the roots of your teeth are cleaned. After that, your gums are sutured back into position. To replace any lost bone, bone grafting surgery may be performed concurrently with flap surgery if you have experienced any bone loss.

Periodontal Surgeries

This method can:

• Eliminate the germs that have accumulated beneath your gums.
• Make brushing your teeth simpler
• Reshape the teeth-supporting bones.
• Prevent further gum disease

Preparation

You may need to stop taking several drugs like aspirin, painkillers, and blood thinners a couple of days before your procedure. The majority of dentists advise patients to abstain from smoking and alcohol at least 24 hours before their appointments. To reduce your risk of acquiring an infection, we may prescribe an antibiotic before the surgery.

The type of surgery that would be best for your particular condition would be decided.

Flap Surgery

In this typical treatment, we make a few tiny incisions in your gums and raise that tissue. We clean the bacteria and tartar off of your teeth and the area around your gums. To ensure that the tissue fits snugly around your teeth, the gums are sutured back. It will be simpler to clean particular areas of your teeth and gums once you have recovered.

Bone Grafting

Your dentist may need to use a graft to restore the bone that surrounds your tooth root if gum disease has harmed it. Small fragments of your own bone, artificial bone, or donated bone can all be used to create the bone graft. This treatment promotes natural bone regrowth and prevents tooth loss.

Guided Tissue Regeneration

To encourage bone regrowth, this treatment entails inserting a tiny piece of material between your bone and gum tissue.

Soft Tissue Grafts

A graft might help you replace some of the tissue you lost as your gums start to recede. We usually use donor tissue or a little piece of tissue taken from the roof of your mouth to fill in any gaps or missing tissue.

Recovery

Your recovery will vary depending on the severity of your sickness, your general health, and the operation you underwent.
Be sure to adhere to your dentist’s instructions. Any type of dental surgery will typically result in some mild bleeding and discomfort.
About a day after your treatment, you should be able to resume many of your regular activities.
Smoking can hinder your body’s ability to recover from surgery. Try to avoid this habit for as long as possible after your periodontal procedure.
After your procedure, your dentist could instruct you to use a specific mouthwash or take an antibiotic. In some places of your mouth, you might not be able to brush or floss until they have healed.
