Gum lifting or 'Gingivectomy'
The procedure is the removal of a portion of gingiva (gum) from in and around a tooth or teeth in order to treat gum disease or to alter the width or length of a tooth. It can be performed by a general dentist who has training in periodontal surgery. Another type of periodontal surgery is called a gingivoplasty. A gingivoplasty is different than a gingivectomy as the former only involves a partial removal of the gums (plasty). The latter removes an entire portion of a gum section.
HOW IS A GINGIVECTOMY PERFORMED?
The treatment is carried out with a scalpel or sometime laser is deployed. Patient is administered local anaesthetic during the treatment in-chair.
POST –OPERATIVE INSTRUCTIONS ?
Normal oral routine is achieved usually within 3-4 weeks. It is advisable that routine check-up and reviews are done by your dentist every 3-4 months for at least 12 months.
