Flap surgery combined with bone grafting is a highly effective treatment for advanced periodontal disease where significant gum recession and bone loss have occurred. Flap surgery involves lifting the gum tissue to thoroughly clean the roots of the teeth and the deep periodontal pockets that harbor bacteria and infection. In cases where bone loss has occurred due to severe gum disease, bone grafting is often performed simultaneously. Bone grafting involves placing bone graft material (either from your body, a donor, or synthetic materials) into the areas of bone loss, promoting new bone growth and helping to regenerate the jawbone. Together, these procedures help stabilize the teeth, prevent further bone deterioration, and restore gum and bone health.
