Periodontal Flap Surgery / Gingivectomy

Introduction

Periodontal Flap Surgery / GingivectomyPeriodontal Flap Surgery or Gingivectomy is a kind of gum surgery done in cases where the gums grow in the front surface of the tooth changing the balance between the length of the teeth and the gum line, thus affecting the shape of the smile. When pocketing depths reach a level where cleansing or maintenance of teeth becomes difficult, the Periodontal Flap Surgery is done.

Procedure of Periodontal Flap Surgery / Gingivectomy

During the Periodontal Flap Surgery or Gingivectomy, at first anesthesia is applied making the gum areas numb. Next, a small slit is made to remove the excess gums using dental tools. Each tooth underlying the gum is then spotlessly cleaned to prevent any bone loss. The dentist removes the infected tissues and smoothens the surface of the damaged bones. In some cases of Gingivectomy, the bone is re contoured and re shaped. Next a periodontal dressing covers the teeth and gums to give them protection while healing.

Length of Periodontal Flap Surgery / Gingivectomy

Generally, a Periodontal Flap Surgery takes about 1 to 3 hours in an average. At each visit, a quarter or half of a mouth is treated.

Side Effects of Periodontal Flap Surgery / Gingivectomy

Post the mini surgery of Gingivectomy or Periodontal Flap Surgery, there can be initial swelling and pain in the area for a few days, till it is completely healed. There can also be the risks of gum infection and tooth cavities. In all these cases, don't forget to consult your dentist.
