Your periodontist (gum and tooth supporting tissue specialist) may recommend a regenerative procedure when the bone supporting your teeth has been destroyed due to periodontal disease (advanced gum disease). These procedures can reverse some of the damage by regenerating lost bone and tissue.
During this procedure, your periodontist folds back the gum tissue and removes the diseased tissues, modifies bone architecture and disinfects the area and root surfaces. Membranes (filters), bone grafts or tissue-stimulating proteins can be used to encourage your body's natural ability to regenerate bone and tissue.
Guided Tissue and bone Regeneration
Regenerating bone and tissue helps to reduce pocket depth and repair damage caused by the progression of disease. With a combination of daily oral hygiene and professional maintenance care, you'll increase the chances of keeping your natural teeth – and decrease the chances of other health problems associated with advanced gum disease.
