Gum Recession and Sensitivity: Laser Gum Treatment (Periodontal Laser)
Gum Recession and Sensitivity: Dental Laser Eti Treatment (Periodontal Laser)
Gum recession is a common problem that causes the root surface of the teeth to be exposed and causes serious sensitivity. Traditional treatment methods (surgical interventions, stitches) can be scary for patients. However, in modern periodontology, laser technology has revolutionized gum treatment. Laser gum treatment; It offers a seamless, bleeding-free, comfortable and much faster healing method. In this article, I will explain in detail the role of laser in the treatment of gingival recession and sensitivity, its advantages and the application process.
Why Does Gum Recession Cause Sensitivity?
When the gum recedes, the root surface (dentin) of the tooth is exposed. Microscopic tubules in the dentin layer transmit hot and cold stimuli directly to the dental nerve. This manifests itself as sudden and sharp sensitivity. In addition, the exposed root surface is more prone to caries and creates an aesthetically disturbing appearance. The underlying causes of gum recession include hard brushing, tartar accumulation, genetic predisposition, hormonal changes and bruxism (teeth clenching).
💡 Information: Gingival recession is a progressive condition. Early diagnosis and treatment both reduces sensitivity and prevents tooth loss.
What is Laser Gum Treatment and How Does It Work?
Laser gum treatment (periodontal laser) is the process of shaping, cleaning and restructuring the gum tissue using laser energy. The laser destroys bacteria and inflamed tissue in the gum pockets, while preserving healthy tissue. The most important advantage of the laser is that it stops bleeding (cauterization) during the procedure and does not require stitches. Additionally, the laser beam stimulates the tissue, accelerating the healing process and encouraging new tissue formation.
Advantages of Laser Gum Treatment
- Seamless and Bleeding-Free: Laser cauterizes the veins It stops bleeding. There is no need for stitches.
- Comfortable: In most cases, the procedure can be performed without even the need for local anesthesia. Patient comfort is at the highest level.
- Fast Recovery: Laser causes minimal damage to surrounding tissues. The recovery process is much shorter than traditional surgery.
- Low Risk of Infection: The laser beam also destroys bacteria during the procedure. The risk of infection is minimal.
- Precision Working: Laser allows tissue shaping with millimetric precision. Gum contours are made ideal.
- Aesthetic Results: Laser gingival recession treatment reduces sensitivity and improves the aesthetic appearance by covering the root surface.
In Which Situations is Laser Gum Treatment? Is it applied?
- Gum recession and related sensitivity
- Gum growths (hyperplasia)
- Gummy smile treatment
- Cleaning of periodontal pockets (curettage)
- Treatment of inflammation around the implant (peri-implantitis)
- Gum aesthetics and pink aesthetic applications
✅ Information: Recovery after laser gum treatment is usually within 1-2 weeks. is completed. The patient can return to daily life on the same day.
