Osseous surgery Periodontal treatment
Osseous surgery, also called pocket reduction or flap surgery, folds back the gum to clean the roots directly and reshape or regenerate the bone around them. It treats pockets that stay 5 mm or deeper after deep cleaning. Regenerative versions add bone grafts, membranes or growth factors.
When is osseous surgery needed?
When pockets stay deep and bleed after scaling and root planing, bacteria live where instruments cannot reach. Opening the gum gives direct access. LANAP is the laser alternative for many of the same cases.
What is periodontal regeneration?
Regeneration rebuilds lost bone and ligament. Vertical bone defects (narrow, deep craters next to a root) respond best. Materials include bone grafts, barrier membranes and enamel matrix derivative.
Questions
Is osseous surgery painful?
The area is numb or sedated. Soreness for several days is common and managed with pain relievers.
