Osseous Surgery Columbus, OH
Periodontitis is an increasingly common inflammatory condition of the gum tissue surrounding the teeth. If left untreated, periodontitis will cause a variety of problems to develop, such as swelling and bleeding gums, or causing the gums to recede. Failing to treat periodontitis for long enough will eventually result in the decay and deterioration of the jawbone and even cause some teeth to fall out.
Osseous surgery is performed when the periodontitis is not being corrected with traditional treatments, such as scaling and root planing. Osseous surgery involves the recontouring or removing of damaged tissue and bone to reduce pockets, eliminate bacteria, and to smooth any bone that has been damaged. Osseous surgery allows for the gum tissue to reattach to the bone, which will prevent additional damage from occurring and stop the decaying process.
