A field of dentistry dealing with the prophylaxis and treatment of periodontal and oral mucosal diseases. Teeth that not long ago were condemned to removal due to bone defects can be now saved: bleeding gums, abnormal tooth mobility, gingival recession (indecent exposure of roots) are problems that we can overcome.
Soft tissue transplants that result in restoration of natural gums around the tooth are possible. In many cases periodontal disease diagnosed at an early stage can be stopped, and regeneration techniques of soft and hard tissues allow to restore what has been destroyed.
