About Dental Curettage

Dental curettage, also known as subgingival curettage or periodontal curettage, is a specialized dental surgical procedure performed to treat advanced gum disease (periodontitis). It involves the meticulous removal of diseased soft tissue lining the periodontal pocket, along with bacterial plaque and tartar (calculus) from the root surfaces below the gumline. This deep cleaning process eliminates the source of infection, reduces pocket depth, and promotes the reattachment of healthy gum tissue to the tooth root. Performed under local anesthesia, it is a key intervention to halt the progression of periodontitis, prevent bone loss, and preserve natural teeth. The procedure is often part of a broader periodontal treatment plan.

Who is this surgery for?

Diagnosis of moderate to severe chronic periodontitis with deep periodontal pockets (typically >5mm).
Presence of subgingival calculus (tartar) and bacterial plaque that cannot be removed by standard scaling.
Inflammation and infection of the soft tissue wall of the periodontal pocket.
As part of a comprehensive periodontal treatment plan following initial therapy (scaling and root planing).
To manage localized areas of gum disease that have not responded to non-surgical treatments.

PATIENT REVIEW

Rohan, a 7-year-old from an affluent family, presented with severe dental trauma after a bicycle accident. Dr. Kumar performed emergency stabilization of multiple avulsed teeth using advanced splinting techniques. The child required weekly follow-ups for 3 months and eventually regained full dental function with minimal aesthetic impact, much to his parents' relief.
