Periodontal disease can be devastating if it is not addressed in a timely manner. Over time, the condition can lead to bone tissue in the jaw wearing away, eliminating the anchors for your teeth. This can lead to premature tooth loss. To regain optimal oral health, you should speak with our periodontist in Langhorne about tissue regeneration.
How the Procedure Helps
Ordinarily, your gum and bone tissue serve as a barrier for your visible tooth structures to hold them in place and keep them safe. However, when an excessive amount of bacteria develop, they can move beyond this barrier and infect the underlying structures.
Before regenerating any tissue, your periodontist will want to ensure all the bacteria are removed, which can involve a scaling and root planing treatment. Once the bacteria and calculus accretions are eliminated, the periodontist will decide what treatment would be best for growing bone and gum tissue. This can involve bone grafting with membrane barriers and adding tissue stimulating proteins.
How to Tell If You Require Tissue Regeneration
It is not always possible to regenerate the bone supporting teeth, if individuals have advanced stages of periodontal disease., Tissue regeneration is recommended for individuals whose disease process has affected their teeth in a certain pattern. In these cases, the bone graft material is added around the affected teeth in an effort to stimulate and promote new bone formation and attachment to the tooth.
The Benefits of Tissue Regeneration
There are advantages to having regenerative procedures:
- Stabilization of teeth
- Improved stability for any implants, dentures or bridges already present
- Prevention of additional problems that can develop from periodontal disease
- Enhanced aesthetic of your smile
