Periodontics

Periodontics is the branch of dentistry concerned with diseases of the gums and bone, their diagnosis and treatment.

Gum (Periodontal) disease is caused by bacterial infections of the soft tissue and bone that supports the teeth. The disease can cause tissue and bone destruction eventually leading to tooth loss. Depending on the stage of the gum disease, the treatment ranges from complete Cleaning (Scaling) to Periodontal surgery.

The department has a 3700 sq ft clinic area fitted with 26 electrically operable chairs. The sterilization room is adequately equipped with 2 autoclaves, an ultrasonic sterilizer and a hot water sterilizer. The average patient inflow is 40 new patients besides old appointment and recall cases.

  • Control and eliminate the disease process that destroys the tissues anchoring the teeth to the jawbones
  • Improve esthetics
  • Create a healthy oral environment that is easy for maintenance

The various surgical procedures conducted in the department includes-

Periodontal Flap surgery

Periodontal Flap surgery involves the reflection of the gums and exposure of the bone to gain access to remove tartar, diseased tissue and defects of the bone. Most periodontal surgery is corrective in nature and done for the purpose of eliminating infection from the tooth supporting area.

Periodontal Bone Grafting Procedures

Flap surgery is combined with the placement of various natural and artificial bone products, where the tooth has been severely weakened by bone loss by gum disease. A bone graft is used to recreate bone and soft supporting tissues lost due to gum disease. Grafting is a way to replace or help growth of new bone or gum tissue destroyed by the disease.

Osseous Surgery

Osseous Surgery is a type of surgery that reshapes the defects in the bone caused due to gum disease.

Mucogingival surgeries

These surgical procedures are aimed at enhancing the cosmetic appearance of the mouth by coverage of the exposed tooth root, reconstruction of gums lost between the teeth.

Soft tissue grafts
