Flap Surgery
Unlocking New Horizons in Gum Health: Introducing Flap Surgery at Pentamed Hospital.
Precision and Perfection in Flap Surgery
At Pentamed Hospital, we understand the importance of gum health in maintaining overall oral well-being. Our team of skilled periodontists specializes in a range of treatments aimed at restoring gum health, including Gingival Flap Surgery.
• What is Gingival Flap Surgery?
Gingival Flap Surgery, also known as Periodontal Flap Surgery, is a common procedure performed to treat advanced gum disease (periodontitis) and restore damaged gum tissues. It is typically recommended when non-surgical treatments, such as scaling and root planing, have not been successful in controlling the progression of the disease.
During Gingival Flap Surgery, the periodontist carefully lifts the gum tissue away from the teeth, creating a flap to access the roots and underlying bone. This allows for thorough cleaning of the root surfaces to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria. In some cases, damaged bone may also be smoothed or repaired to promote better healing.
• When is Gingival Flap Surgery Recommended?
Gingival Flap Surgery may be recommended for individuals with:
• Deep pockets between the teeth and gums
• Moderate to severe gum disease
• Gum recession exposing the tooth roots
• Persistent inflammation and bleeding of the gums
• Bone loss around the teeth
The Gingival Flap Surgery Procedure
- Preparation:
Before the surgery, the patient will receive local anesthesia to ensure comfort during the procedure.
- Incision:
The periodontist makes small incisions in the gum tissue to create flaps, providing access to the roots and underlying bone.
- Cleaning:
Special instruments are used to thoroughly clean the root surfaces and remove any diseased tissue, plaque, and calculus.
- Bone Reshaping:
If necessary, the periodontist may perform bone reshaping or bone grafting to restore damaged bone around the teeth.
- Suturing:
Once the cleaning and any necessary repairs are complete, the flaps are carefully repositioned and sutured back into place.
Post-Surgery Care and Recovery
After Gingival Flap Surgery, patients are provided with detailed instructions for post-operative care. This may include:
- Avoiding hard or crunchy foods
- Using prescribed medications, such as antibiotics or pain relievers
- Practicing good oral hygiene, including gentle brushing and flossing
- Attending follow-up appointments for monitoring and removal of sutures
- Genetics:
Most patients experience mild discomfort and swelling following the procedure, which can be managed with proper care and medication. Full recovery typically takes a few weeks, during which time the gums will heal and tighten around the teeth.
