Flap Surgery

When advanced gum disease, also known as periodontitis, progresses to a severe stage, non-surgical treatments like cleaning and scaling may not be sufficient to control it. In such cases, periodontal flap surgery may be the best option for effectively treating and repairing periodontal pockets.

Understanding Periodontal Pockets

Periodontal pockets are spaces that form below the gum line when gum tissue detaches from the teeth. These pockets provide a breeding ground for harmful bacteria, leading to inflammation, sensitivity, bleeding, and pain. If left untreated, periodontal pockets can result in gum disease, loss of bone structure supporting the teeth, and potential systemic health issues.

The Role of Flap Surgery

Flap surgery is a leading method for treating and repairing periodontal pockets. During the procedure, the dentist or periodontist makes small incisions in the gum tissue to create a flap, allowing access to the roots of the teeth and underlying bone. The roots and bone are thoroughly cleaned of plaque, tartar, and bacteria, and any damaged tissue is removed. The flap is then repositioned and secured in place, promoting gum reattachment and reducing the depth of the periodontal pockets.

Benefits of Flap Surgery:

• Effective Treatment: Flap surgery is highly effective in reducing pocket depth and controlling the progression of gum disease.
• Preservation of Oral Health: By addressing periodontal pockets and removing harmful bacteria, flap surgery helps preserve the health of the gums, teeth, and supporting bone structure.
• Prevention of Systemic Complications: Treating gum disease through flap surgery can help reduce the risk of systemic health issues associated with untreated periodontal disease.
