Gingivectomy
Gingivectomy
This procedure removes inflamed or enlarged gum tissue caused by gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis) or other factors such as medication side effects. By eliminating the diseased tissue, gingivectomy helps reduce gum pockets and makes it easier to clean teeth thoroughly.
Who Needs Gingivectomy?
- Patients with deep gum pockets that trap bacteria and food debris.
- Individuals with gum overgrowth (gingival hyperplasia) from medications or systemic conditions.
- Those needing better access to the tooth surface for restorative treatments.
Benefits of Gingivectomy:
- Reduces inflammation and bleeding.
- Improves gum health and helps prevent further periodontal damage.
- Enhances the appearance of your smile by creating even gum lines.
- Facilitates easier oral hygiene and maintenance.
How Does Gingivectomy Work?
During the procedure, your dentist carefully removes the diseased or excess gum tissue using specialized instruments or laser technology. This removal reduces the depth of gum pockets where harmful bacteria accumulate, promoting healthier gums and preventing further bone loss around your teeth.
