Treatment of periodontal disease.
Periodontal surgery is used to control advanced lesions affecting the support for teeth. The choice between conservative treatment and surgical treatment is a technical issue, but client compliance plays an important role. Excision surgical techniques (e.g., gingivectomy) and incisional surgical techniques (e.g., flap surgery) are described in this article. Postoperative, recall, and retreatment programs are explored.
