Osseous Surgery<\/h1>\n

Osseous surgery, sometimes referred to as pocket reduction surgery or gingivectomy, refers to a number of different surgeries aimed at gaining access to the tooth roots to remove tartar and disease-causing bacteria.<\/p>\n

Goals of Osseous Surgery<\/h2>\n

Osseous surgery is used to reshape deformities and remove pockets in the alveolar bone surrounding the teeth. It is a common necessity in effective treatment of more advanced periodontal diseases. The ultimate goal of osseous surgery is to reduce or eliminate the periodontal pockets that cause periodontal disease. Despite the word \u201csurgery\u201d the procedure is reported to feel more like a thorough cleaning.<\/p>\n
