What is Osseous Surgery?

Osseous surgery is a specialized periodontal procedure designed to treat severe forms of gum disease by reshaping and smoothing the bone around the teeth. This procedure helps eliminate deep pockets caused by bacterial infection and prevents further damage to the supporting structures of the teeth. As Dr. [doctor_name] explains, "Osseous surgery is essential for those with advanced periodontitis to preserve their natural teeth and improve oral hygiene."

Advantages of Osseous Surgery

The benefits of osseous surgery extend beyond improved oral health:

• Reduced Pocket Depths: By eliminating deep pockets, osseous surgery minimizes areas where bacteria can accumulate.
• Improved Gum Health: Healthier gums lead to better aesthetic appearance and reduced risk of tooth loss.
• Enhanced Oral Hygiene: With shallower pockets, maintaining cleanliness and preventing future infections becomes easier.
• Preservation of Natural Teeth: By stabilizing the bone structure, osseous surgery helps keep your natural teeth intact longer.

The Osseous Surgery Process

The process of osseous surgery typically involves several steps:

• Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to ensure patient comfort throughout the procedure.
• Tissue Flap Creation: The gums are carefully folded back to expose the underlying bone and tooth roots.
• Pocket Reduction: The affected bone is reshaped to reduce pocket depth and remove any irregularities that might harbor bacteria.
• Sutures: The gums are stitched back into place for healing.
