Laser Gingivectomy Procedure and Treatment<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Laser Gingivectomy is the surgical removal of the gingiva (gum tissue) using advanced Lasers – a minimally invasive to moderate oral surgery. The technique controls tissue overgrowth and improves the appearance of teeth by removing the gingiva.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Gingivectomy is a procedure that can be done to treat gingivitis. It’s also used to remove excess gum tissue for aesthetic purposes, such as to change the appearance of a smile.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Gingivectomy may be recommended by a dentist if you have gum recession as a result of:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Gum illnesses such as gingivitis, periodontitis and bacterial infections, or gum damage, which is common among the elderly. Gingivectomy for cosmetic reasons is completely up to the patient, however, it is best to take your oral surgeon\u2019s advice before going ahead with this procedure.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Is Gingivectomy the best option?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When it comes to cosmetic reasons, gingivectomy costs are fairly decent compared to advanced smile makeover treatment. But what\u2019s more interesting is that this treatment is minimally invasive and usually quick, depending on the case. Most dental clinics, including ours, now conduct a gingivectomy procedure using a soft tissue laser.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In other cases, a gingivectomy serves a health purpose rather than improving the aesthetics of your smile. If you have had gum disease in the past but still have deep pockets surrounding your teeth, you won’t be able to clean them on your own. By removing some of the detached gingiva surrounding your tooth, pocket reduction surgery, also known as periodontal gingivectomies or crown lengthening, can minimize the depth of your gum pocket. Pockets that are shorter are easier to maintain clean and healthy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Laser gingivectomy – The What & How?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In the past, gingivectomy was seen as a more invasive dental procedure that concerned many individuals. This is because it was formerly done using a scalpel, which gave a rather unpleasant experience for the patient. The healing process took a few weeks too.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Today, lasers are used as the primary tool in a number of dental treatments. Clinicians can choose from a variety of technologies depending on the application, as different treatments require different laser wavelengths owing to the way tissue reacts. Dental lasers include those that are used on soft tissue (such as Nd:YAG, diode, and 10.6.m CO2 units), hard-tissue lasers (such as Er:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG), and technologies that are selectively suited for either hard or soft tissue procedures (such as Er:YAG and 9.3-m CO2 units).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The most common procedure performed using dental lasers is laser gingivectomy<\/a>. For restorative, aesthetic, and periodontal purposes, all laser wavelengths can be utilized to accurately incise gingiva.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As we know, Gingivectomy<\/a> is a surgical treatment that involves removing unsupported gingival tissue. This removal must be to a point where the gingiva is connected and forming a new gingival edge that is apical to the previous one. The biological width, which is roughly 2.14mm(0.97mm of epithelial attachment and 1.07 mm of the connective tissue attachment), should not be exceeded when conducting a gingivectomy.\u00a0 Maintaining this width is necessary for maintaining gingival health, as encroaching on it might result in gingival recession or gingival rebound.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
