Periodontal Flap Surgery---For a Painless Smile!!!!

Flap surgery  is the loosening of the gum from bone to expose and clean underlying tooth structures. Periodontal flap surgery Flap surgery is done to treat the periodontaldisease which may affect our overall health.

The bacteria in our mouth, along with mucus and other particles, constantly form a sticky, colorless plaque on teeth. Plaque that is not removed by Brushing and flossing, can harden and form calculus and may results in inflammation of the gums leading to gingivitis if it is not properly cleaned with the help of a dentist. Inflammation causes a pocket to develop between the gums and the teeth, which keeps on filling with plaque and tartar and finally  causes destruction of the tissues and bone surrounding the tooth, thus loosening the tooth. Eventually it leads to loss of teeth

Common symptoms to identify inflammation of gums are:

• Bad Breadth

• Swollen gums
• Bright Red or red-purple gums
• Bleeding gums
• Loose teeth 

Flapsurgery Procedure

The area to be treated is injected with local anesthesia before the procedure starts. The gums are then separated from the tooth to clean the root of the teeth filled with tartar and also repair the bone, if needed. During the procedure, the entire area is carefully cleaned and all tarter and infected granulation tissue are removed and the bone is examined.  The gum flaps are then sutured back into place and covered with gauze to stop bleeding. A few days to recover from a flap procedure and a few days after the procedure, your dentist will remove the stitches.

The entire flap procedure requires 1 to 3 hours to perform with only two quadrants of the mouth being addressed in a single visit. You must keep your mouth as clean as possible while the surgical site is healing.

The objectives of periodontal flap surgery are to:

   ----Regenerate periodontal tissues and their (re)-attachment to the teeth.

·         ----Eliminate or reduce pockets.

World No Tobacco Day 2012--Quit Smoke Before It Kills You!!

Smoking products contain numerous poisonous chemicals such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide, ammonia, tar and nicotine.When you light a cigarette, these poisons start burning, which makes them more dangerous. The smoke passes through the smoker’s mouth, and leaves behind a sticky residue on their teeth. In fact, just one puff is enough to deposit stains on your teeth.

Smoking is hazardous to health.Smoking causes many problems to mouth.Most of us are aware of this fact,but no one is bothered about the dental problems.Smoking causes a staining on the teeth due to the nicotine and tar content.It can make the teeth yellow in a very short time, and heavy smokers often complain that their teeth are almost brown after years of smoking.

Smoking may also results in gum disease.Patients who smoke are more likely to produce bacterial plaque, which leads to gum disease. The gums are affected because smoking causes a lack of oxygen in the bloodstream, so the infected gums fail to heal. Gum disease still remains the most common cause of tooth loss in adults.

Tobacco use may greatly increases the risk for oral cancer, a disease that progresses rapidly and can be deadly if not diagnosed and treated early.The incidence of oral cancer ranges from one to 10 cases per 100 000 people in most countries.The prevalence of oral cancer is relatively higher in men, in older people, and among people of low education and low income. Tobacco and alcohol are major causal factors.
