Did you know that advanced gum disease (periodontitis) can cause bone loss around your teeth? If left untreated, this can lead to tooth mobility and even tooth loss. But the good news is that modern periodontal regenerative techniques can help restore lost bone and support your teeth.
Our lovely patient had a severe bone defect in a difficult-to-reach area at the back of the mouth. This region is naturally hard to clean, making it more prone to plaque buildup over time. Due to chronic disease progression, subgingival plaque had settled deep into the tissues, leading to significant bone loss.
We first performed non-surgical therapy to control the infection, followed by regenerative surgery using enamel matrix derivative (EMD) and bone grafting.
Scientific research supports that regenerative treatments can lead to better long-term outcomes, healthier gums, and stronger tooth attachment compared to standard surgical cleaning alone.
🪥 Oral hygiene plays a crucial role in preventing periodontal disease progression. Areas that are difficult to clean require extra attention to stop plaque from accumulating and causing further bone loss. Brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups are key to maintaining long-term gum health and preserving treatment results.
