Periodontal disease is generally caused by the accretion of red complex bacteria located in the gum and teeth following the accumulation amalgamative bio pellicule, which produces immuno – inflammatory mechanism causing high risk factor resulting in detriment upon the bone support surrounding the natural teeth. Untreated condition of advanced stage of periodontal disorder may lead to loss of gingivial bone and tooth. To escape away from such events of loss, the patient should undergo appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

The treatment methods vary according to the stage of disorder depending on your overall health records of checkup which have been exhibited earlier by your periodontist.

Types of surgeries:
Flap surgery (or) pocket reduction surgery

At the time of treatment, the gums are pulled back to remove the tarter. Under certain conditions, the uneven layer of surface of destructed bone is smoothened to control the presence of disease causing bacteria. The gums are fixed in such a manner that the tissues around the tooth get fitted accurately. By this process the size and space between the gum and the tooth gets minimized, providing precautions from falling into serious dental obstacles due to bacteria.

Bone surgery

Shallow pits of bone caused by severe bone damage or loss is made smooth along with the pocket reduction surgery to remold the shape of bone to lessen the pit formations and to control bacterial growth.
