Antalya Dental Clinic – Antalya Dentist – Antalya dental hospital
Antalya Gum graft surgery is nowadays quite a popular oral cavity intervention. Such surgery aims at solving the issues related to gingival recession, which is the process of gum tissue atrophy around one tooth or the whole tooth row. There are several factors that cause gingival recession. Often such a disorder is associated with periodontitis, when the bone tissue gets destroyed due to inflammation processes, leading to the exposure of the tooth root. This can be caused by bad oral hygiene, chronic diseases, occlusion problems, presence of strands and frenulums, smoking, and gum traumatizing due to incorrect teeth cleaning.
It should be also noted that dental clinics belonging to DentaTur chain perform dental implantation at the highest level. Since tooth implantation is so far one of the most widespread dental services, such a procedure is conducted only if the whole set of requirements is met, including healthy gums.
The installation of an artificial tooth on the spot of the lost one is impossible without a thorough approach towards the restoration of the soft tissues by which the new tooth will be surrounded. The presence of healthy, prepared, and immobile gums ensures secure support of the future dental implant. Unfortunately, the gingival health of the majority of patients cannot serve as a warranty of the correct position of the new tooth. Gum inconsistency can be caused by various reasons, with the most widespread ones being as follows:
Objectives of gum graft surgery
augmentation of high-quality gums around the implant;
gum cuff formation;
creation of the necessary volume of the mucous membrane for the gingival crest around the artificial tooth;
bone protection with the help of the restored gum in the implantation zone.
The restoration of the necessary gum volume is achieved by several techniques. The selection of a particular method depends on the patient’s specific objectives and individual preferences.
How gum graft surgery is performed?
In case of the insufficiency of the soft tissues they can be transplanted from another part of the oral cavity. Usually the gum is transplanted from the palate, since the histological properties of the hard palate are considered to be identical to those of the gum near the tooth neck. That is why the gum graft transplanted by the dentist survives quite easily and stops the gum recession.
This procedure is performed surgically. Before the intervention the doctor removes carious lesions in the working area and eliminates the inflammation. Gum graft surgery is painless since it is conducted in the presence of local anaesthesia. To transplant the gum, the surgeon peels off several soft tissue flaps in the oral cavity, one of them being selected directly beside the tooth. Then the doctor cleans the spaces beneath such flaps, eliminates inflammation, removes food residuals, and repairs the root cement.
