improvement of gum tissues. These surgical methods aim to stop the progression of gum diseases, restore lost tissues, and achieve healthy gum aesthetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frenectomy\"><\/span>Frenectomy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Frenectomy is the surgical removal or correction of muscle attachments (frenulum) located at the connection points of the tongue, lip, or cheek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Is_It_Done\"><\/span>Why Is It Done?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is performed in cases of ankyloglossia (tongue tie), when the frenulum causes gum recession, or when it negatively affects orthodontic treatment or prosthesis stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Is_It_Done\"><\/span>How Is It Done?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Local anesthesia is applied. The frenulum is removed with a scalpel or laser. Stitches may be placed. Mild pain may be experienced, and healing usually occurs within 1\u20132 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Connective_Tissue_Graft_Subepithelial_Connective_Tissue_Graft\"><\/span>Connective Tissue Graft (Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This method is used to cover gum recessions and increase gingival thickness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Is_It_Done-2\"><\/span>Why Is It Done?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It reduces root sensitivity, provides protection against further gum recession, and improves aesthetic appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Is_It_Done-2\"><\/span>How Is It Done?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Connective tissue is harvested from the palate under local anesthesia. It is placed in the recession area and sutured. Recovery takes 1\u20132 weeks, during which a soft diet is recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Free_Gingival_Graft\"><\/span>Free Gingival Graft<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Free gingival grafting is used to increase gum tissue volume or to restore receded gums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Is_It_Done-3\"><\/span>Why Is It Done?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is applied in areas with insufficient gum tissue to provide protection and restore function and aesthetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Is_It_Done-3\"><\/span>How Is It Done?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A tissue graft including both epithelial and connective tissue layers is taken from the palate and sutured to the target area. Healing typically takes 2\u20133 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gingivectomy\"><\/span>Gingivectomy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gingivectomy involves the surgical removal of diseased or excess gum tissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Is_It_Done-4\"><\/span>Why Is It Done?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is indicated in cases of gingival hyperplasia, deep pockets that hinder cleaning, or for cosmetic gum level adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Is_It_Done-4\"><\/span>How Is It Done?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Local anesthesia is applied.

Infected tissues are removed using curettes or ultrasonic tools. Gum surfaces are smoothed. Mild sensitivity may occur post-treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Flap_Operation\"><\/span>Flap Operation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A flap operation is used to clean infected areas and treat bone defects in advanced periodontal disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Is_It_Done-7\"><\/span>Why Is It Done?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is effective in reducing deep pockets, correcting bone deformities, and applying bone grafts if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Is_It_Done-7\"><\/span>How Is It Done?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After local anesthesia, the gum is lifted to expose the underlying bone. Infected areas are cleaned, and the bone is either smoothed or grafted. The gum is then sutured back in place.
