Question 1

what is guided tissue regeneration (gums)?

Accepted Answer

Surgical aid: Gtr is a procedure used to stimulate bone and gum tissue growth when done in combination with flap surgery. A small piece of mesh-like fabric is inserted between the bone and gum tissue. This keeps the gum tissue from growing into the area where the bone should be, allowing the bone and connective tissue to regrow and restore lost bone.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Periodontist: but you should have a good general dentist also who can help you look after your overall oral health

Question 3

can you tell me how to get a laser gum regeneration at the dentist does it hurt?

Accepted Answer

See a specialist: before you decide if you need a regenerative procedure you need to get a proper examination from a specialist (Periodontist) or a dentist who is trained in this procedure, I would suggest you google " LANAP" which stands for Laser Assisted New attachment procedure that can performed with a special Laser (Nd-yag) and an approved provider.

Question 4

my dentist has informed me that the radiation killed most of the cells around the gum. do cells regenerate after time?

Accepted Answer

May or may not: This depends upon many factors such as total dose, type of cell, type of radiation, age of individual
stage of cell division, part of body exposed, general state of health, tissue volume exposed, time interval over which dose is received. The doctors actually treating you would be better able to give you an accurate appraisal.

Question 5

what is the benefit of scar tissue vs. normal skin regeneration?

Accepted Answer

Scar is normal: Healing with scar tissue is part of the normal healing process. At times a scar can become wide - a hypertrophic scar or the scar can keep on growing as in a keloid. Hypertrophic or keloid scars may need some treatment such as surgical scar revision or cortisone injections. See you doctor if you think you are having excess scarring.
