Periodontal disease is a serious and advancing condition that, if untreated, can result in tooth loss. It occurs when bacterial infection within gum pockets causes the deterioration of bone and gum tissue, leading them to recede from the teeth. Regenerative procedures can halt the progression of the disease and safeguard the teeth from further damage.

Types of Regeneration:

• Bone Regeneration:
  • Autogenous Bone Graft:This particular bone graft is obtained from the patient's own body, ensuring the most reliable and predictable outcomes.
  • Allograft Bone Graft:This grafting method utilizes either cadaveric or synthetic bone materials.
  • Xenograft:Bovine bone is employed in this particular grafting technique.
• Gum Tissue Regeneration: Periodontal disease can lead to a discolored and aesthetically unpleasing smile. Gum grafting plays a crucial role in covering exposed tooth roots and fostering the restoration of healthy gums.
• Pocket Reduction Surgery: During pocket reduction surgery, bacteria and tartar are removed by carefully pulling back the gums from the teeth. An antimicrobial solution may be applied to eradicate any remaining bacteria. Some minor stitches might be necessary, typically removed within 5 to 10 days.
• Scaling and Root Planing: Scaling is commonly conducted using specialized dental instruments and an ultrasonic scaling tool. Root planing involves smoothing the root surfaces and removing any infected tooth structure during the procedure.
