Periodontial plastic surgery

State of knowledge today is that periodontal diseases derive from the incidence of certain bacteria. This bacterial plaque biofilm accumulation of teeth and gingiva in combination with host immune-inflammatory mechanisms and other risk factors lead to the destruction of the periodontic environment.  As the result a chronic inflammation of the periodontic tissue lead to the loss of alveolar bone and finally the loss of teeth.
We offer you the possibility due to special gene marking tests to affect these types of bacteria. In the course of surgical periodontic treatment we can reduce the bacterial accumulation through selective antibiotic treatment. This helps the regeneration of your periondontic tissue.

Is there a possibility of gingival graft?

Yes, nowadays several techniques of periodontal plastic surgery allow us a gingival graft. One possibility of covering exposed root surfaces and gum recessions are free gingival grafts or subepithelial connective tissue grafts. Tissue will be removed from the palate of the patient`s mouth and relocated to the site of gum recession. It is stitched into place and takes about seven days to heal in.
Further possibilities are guided tissue regeneration (GTR) or guided bone regeneration (GBR) where periodontic defects are filled up with synthetic bone graft material ( hydroxyapatatite and β-tricalcium phosphate) and enamel matrix derivative ( Emdogain®). The enamel matrix derivative is responsible for a certain surface finish of the roots, so autogenous fibres and bone cells can connect to the surface. The synthetic material will be resorbed in the process of healing.
