Gingival curettage

Gingival curettage in periodontology means removing, removing and shaving the gingival wall of the periodontal pocket. This operation is to separate the soft tissue of the gingival wall, which contains infection and germs and is not like a dental implant.

In fact, in the curettage of granulation tissue or granulation tissue, the periodontal pocket is removed. Harmful, penetrate.

Granulosin tissue is usually fermane and has increased fibroblast tissue and various small blood vessels (blood vessels) and chronic inflammation that may contain parts of the calculus or microbial colonies that if there is a microbial mass or colony can cause The pathological tissue is stable and the repair of healthy gingival tissue is prevented.

In fact, this inflammatory and swollen granulation tissue is covered by epithelial cells and long strands of it are pulled into this inflammatory environment. The presence of this epithelium as a barrier prevents new fibers (filaments) from sticking to the area.

Calculus or mass is hard sediments that become mineralized, mineralized and hard due to non-cleaning of food, microbial decomposition materials and food decomposition materials and are removed by scaling. In this method, infectious substances and non-living tissues are removed from the tooth surface. Indirect scaling also involves different degrees of curettage, but it should be noted that they are different methods and are considered as a separate treatment.

Types of gingival curettage

Curettage can be gingival and subgingival. Gingival cotyledonation involves the removal of inflamed and swollen soft tissue adjacent to the periodontal wall. Subgingival curettage is performed in the proximal and gingival epithelial attachments and separates the connective tissue at the edge of the bone.

When scaling and smoothing the root surface is done, some degree of curettage is done unintentionally, which is called inadvertent curettage.

The purpose of curettage is separate from the act of scaling. Decreased envelope depth is increased by increasing gingival shrinkage, which also causes new connective tissue adhesions. In some cases, curettage causes both gingival contraction and connective tissue reattachment.
