Regenerative Procedures

What are Regenerative Procedures?

The tissues or bones of your gums usually catch a bacterial infection. And this bacterial infection leads to periodontal disease. The surgeon regenerates the tissues and bones affected by bacteria using regenerative procedures. In this procedure, the surgeon folds back the tissues of your gums to remove disease-causing bacteria.

Why is a Regenerative Procedure Recommended?

The surgeon conducts a regenerative procedure to slow down the process of decaying teeth and to promote the growth of tissue in the affected area. The method of regeneration of bone provides support to the tooth. It is recommended because it increases the tooth’s life even if half a lost bone is restored.

Who can perform Regenerative Procedures?

Regenerative procedures are performed by “maxillofacial surgeons.” They are medical specialists in dentistry and are trained and qualified to do oral surgeries of the mouth, jaw, and face. Visit a maxillofacial surgeon in the best hospital in Kolkata.

How is the Regeneration Procedure Conducted?

There are different ways of conducting a regeneration procedure depending on the affected area. The common regeneration procedures are

1. Gum Tissue Regeneration(GTR): The process of GTR begins with opening the affected gum through the flap process and cleaning the bacteria. After this, a membrane is placed over the affected gum and bone and is left to allow the bone to heal and regenerate.
2. Bone Regeneration: The bacteria enter the jawbone and try to damage it. The bone regeneration process involves numbing the affected bone, cleaning and disinfecting the bone, and finally implanting a bone graft.
3. Scaling and Root Planing: Scaling removes the plaque or tartar from the upper gum line (supragingival region), whereas root planing removes the plaque or tartar from the lower gum line (subgingival region).
4. Pocket Reduction Surgery: It is a process to reduce the depth of gum pockets which in turn resists bacteria penetration. It prevents tissue loss and allows the gums to heal naturally.

What are the benefits of a Regenerative Procedure?

The benefits of a regenerative procedure may include the following:

• It allows for the body’s natural regeneration process.
• It keeps oral parts from decaying further.
• It causes the apical diameter to shrink.
• It improves tooth survival and provides fracture resistance.
