Abstract:
The treatment of periodontal diseases associated with attachment loss has involved a variety of approaches. While the goal of periodontal surgical treatments is to access the root surfaces for proper debridement, the decision to remove or reshape the supporting bone has been controversial. This paper will address the controversy as well as discuss surgical pocket therapy directed toward pocket reduction through recontouring the underlying bone.
