Gingivectomy

Gingivectomy is a periodontal surgical procedure involving the precise removal of excess or diseased gingival tissue to improve periodontal health, facilitate oral hygiene, or enhance esthetics.

Clinical Objectives Include:

  1. Treatment of periodontal pockets: Eliminating deep pockets caused by gingival overgrowth or inflammation.
  2. Esthetic improvement: Reshaping gingival contours to create a more balanced and harmonious smile.
  3. Functional benefit: Providing better access for oral hygiene and reducing areas prone to plaque accumulation.

Procedure Overview

  • Careful excision of targeted gingival tissue using surgical instruments, laser, or electrosurgery.
  • Contouring of the remaining gingiva to achieve physiologic architecture.
  • Postoperative monitoring to ensure proper healing and maintenance of periodontal health.
