osseous surgery

periodontics • beaumont, TX

In some cases, especially for those patients diagnosed with advanced periodontitis, non-surgical therapy is not sufficient in treating all areas of the mouth. Those cases may require the surgical treatment. Osseous surgery is the process of cleaning out the diseased areas and reducing the pockets by reshaping the bone. Sutures will be placed to secure the site and a protective dressing will cover the surgical site for the first few days. Our patient will return to our office within seven to ten days to check the healing process.

Guided Tissue Bone Regeneration

Guided Tissue Bone Regeneration "regenerates" the previously lost gum and bone tissue. Most techniques utilize membranes, which are inserted over the bone defects. Some of these membranes are bio-absorbable and some require removal. Other regenerative procedures involve the use of bioactive gels.
