Gingival curettage is a dental procedure that involves the removal of diseased gum tissue from the gums surrounding the teeth. The procedure is typically performed by a periodontist or dentist and is designed to remove bacteria and debris from the periodontal pocket, the space between the tooth and the gum tissue. The goal of the procedure is to promote the healing of the gum tissue and reduce the risk of further damage or infection.
Curettage is typically recommended for individuals with periodontal disease or other gum-related conditions that have not responded to non-surgical treatment methods, such as scaling and root planing. It can also be used in conjunction with other surgical procedures, such as periodontal flap surgery or gum grafts, to further promote the healing of the gums and prevent further damage to the teeth and gums.
Gingival curettage is a treatment for patients with advanced gum disease, specifically those with inflammation or infection in the gingival tissues. This procedure involves removing diseased or infected tissue from the gum pockets surrounding the teeth, followed by a thorough cleaning of the affected area. It may also be recommended for patients with excessive gum tissue or to improve overall gum health.
If the space between the tooth and the gum tissue (the periodontal pocket) is deep and difficult to clean with non-surgical methods, gingival curettage may be recommended to remove bacteria and debris from the pocket and promote healing.
If the gum tissue has receded from the teeth, exposing the root surface and increasing the risk of tooth decay and further gum damage, gingival curettage may be recommended to remove any diseased or infected tissue and promote the regeneration of healthy gum tissue.
If the gums are inflamed or infected despite treatment with antibiotics or other non-surgical methods, gingival curettage may be recommended to remove any remaining bacteria and promote healing.
In cases of recurrent gum bleeding while brushing, gingival curettage is recommended for removal of the infected area and promote gingival healing.
Before the procedure, the periodontist will perform a thorough evaluation of the gums and teeth, including taking X-rays and measuring the depth of the periodontal pockets to determine the extent of the disease and plan the treatment.
