Gingival resection

Right!

Gum resection refers to the surgical removal of hypertrophic gingival tissue or medium-depth periodontal pockets in some parts of the posterior teeth to reconstruct the physiological shape of the gums and the normal sulcus.

It is suitable for hypertrophic gingivitis, gingival hyperplasia, shallow periodontal pockets with a depth of less than 5mm, and periodontal pockets involving bifurcation. Patients with systemic disease or local acute inflammation should be contraindicated.

The incision is made at an angle of 45 ° at the root gingival about 1 to 2 mm from the marked line.
