Periodontal surgery is a dental procedure aimed at treating gum disease and correcting defects in the gums and supporting bone.
It helps remove infection, reduce pocket depth, and regenerate damaged tissues around the teeth. Common types include flap surgery, bone grafts, and tissue regeneration. The goal is to restore oral health, prevent tooth loss, and improve gum appearance. It may also be performed for cosmetic reasons, such as reshaping the gum line. Periodontal surgery enhances access for cleaning and supports long-term plaque control and oral hygiene maintenance.
