Guided Bone & Tissue Regeneration
In the past, gum disease was commonly treated by removing infected gum tissue and reshaping uneven bone to eliminate periodontal pockets. While this method is still effective, modern dentistry now offers more advanced techniques. One of these innovative procedures is guided bone regeneration, also known as guided tissue regeneration. This treatment is designed to help preserve compromised teeth or prepare the jawbone for dental implants.
As periodontal disease advances, it can cause areas of bone deterioration in the jaw. These damaged areas create pockets that allow bacteria to thrive and infections to spread. To treat these concerns, Dr. Michael Strassberg, DDS, Dr. Juliana Ko, DMD, and Dr. Milita Borguet, DMD may recommend guided tissue regeneration.
During this procedure, the affected areas are thoroughly cleaned to remove bacteria and diseased tissue. A specialized membrane is then placed between the gum tissue and the bone defect. Some membranes are designed to dissolve naturally over time, while others may require removal. The purpose of this membrane is to prevent fast-growing soft tissue from filling the space, allowing the slower-growing bone tissue the opportunity to regenerate and rebuild itself.
The success of guided bone and tissue regeneration largely depends on the patient’s commitment to following detailed post-operative instructions, including maintaining proper oral hygiene and adhering to dietary recommendations. Dr. Michael Strassberg, DDS, Dr. Juliana Ko, DMD, and Dr. Milita Borguet, DMD will evaluate your condition and determine whether bone regeneration treatment is the right solution for your periodontal health.
