Mucosal and gingival microsurgery

Mucogingival microsurgery is an advanced field of periodontology that aims to precisely treat and regenerate gingival tissues. At Anadent Wojtyla Stomatology, we offer a modern approach to microsurgery, providing patients with effective and minimally invasive procedures.

Treatments in the field of mucosal and gingival surgery are performed by Karol Wojtyla, a prominent specialist in this field, and all stages of treatment are carried out under high magnification.

Mucosal and gingival surgery includes:

covering gingival recessions
Procedures to improve the patient's anatomical conditions (e.g., deepening the oral vestibule)
correction of gummy smile (gummy smile)
restoration of missing gingiva at the own tooth and implant
frenulum undercutting and its plasticity
gum graft

Types of mucogingival microsurgery

Immerse yourself in a world of cutting-edge mucogingival microsurgery, where precision meets innovative technology. We offer comprehensive microsurgical care and provide restoration of lost periodontal soft tissues.

Deepening of the atrium

This treatment is aimed at improvement of anatomical conditions patient. This is the case when elderly people come to our office for complete mandibular dentures. They report a lack of fit of the restoration, its frequent falling and the discomfort associated with it. The problem mostly lies in the lack of adequate exposure of the bony process. Therefore, soft tissues are moved where possible and a gingival graft is sewn in. This exposes the bony outgrowth, which provides a retaining base for the new denture.

Coverage of gingival recessions

Gingival recession is a mucogingival imperfection that, primarily for aesthetic reasons, is a common case treated by our specialist. Gingival recessions, or root exposure, are most often a disorder that occurs independently of the patient. These defects are sometimes a complication of orthodontic treatment, but the biggest factor is an anatomical issue beyond the patient's control. Additional causes include thin gum types and traumatic brushing.

Gingival recessions are treated only surgically, often using grafts from the palate. These are microsurgical procedures so we perform them under magnification and use atraumatic surgical instruments, which greatly spare the surrounding tissues. Healing after the procedure is about 1 month. Crucial after the procedure are the first two weeks, during which the patient is required to follow a liquid diet.

The patient must have a consultation prior to periodontal surgery to qualify for the procedure.

Gummy smile correction (gummy smile)

A gummy smile is a tooth-gum disproportion that occurs independently of us. Its cause can be orthognathic defects or the so-called disorder of passive eruption of teeth.

Then when smiling, more than 2mm of gum is visible and the teeth appear undersized. Often in such a case, correction of the excess gum is recommended to expose the crown of the tooth. There are cases in which gum correction alone is sufficient. When the gummy smile is more advanced, a procedure to lower the bone within the elongated teeth should be added to the gum plasticity. In the final stage, composite or porcelain veneers are used.

Frenectomy

Frenum undercutting (plication) is one of the easier procedures in periodontics. It involves the elimination of overgrown structures in the region of the upper incisal teeth. The procedure is performed under anesthesia, during which submucosal tissues are cut out.

Overgrown, too-short frenum can hinder the adhesion of the denture, disrupt the structure of the gum, cause diastemas or impede effective suckling in infants.
