Periodontal Bone
Grafts in Costa Rica
 By Patrick Goodness Goodness Dental -Paid Partnership- If you suffer from periodontitis and have been told you need a bone graft or surgical intervention, you’ll want to ask your Costa Rica periodontist about how guided tissue regeneration could help you. Periodontitis is a serious infection of the gums. It can also destroy the bone that supports your teeth, causing them to loosen or fall out. Periodontitis can lead to pockets forming between your gums and your teeth. The most common treatment is for a periodontist to thoroughly clean your teeth, including planing root surfaces and in some cases prescribing antibiotics to control bacterial infection. In some cases, your periodontist may perform surgery on your gums or apply soft tissue grafts. But if you have an advanced case of periodontitis, your Costa Rica periodontist will need to consider measures to replace bone and tissue that has been destroyed. Goodness Dental offers the top-ranked periodontists in Costa Rica, using advanced technology that can be used to regrow bone and tissue destroyed by bacteria. Some procedures include the insertion of a specially created fabric membrane between existing bone and your tooth that promotes healing by isolating the area, a technique known as guided tissue regeneration (or GTR) and guided bone regeneration (or GBR). The membranes used today are more advanced and include natural or synthetic bio-absorbable materials that produce optimal outcomes. The latest generation of membranes even include growth factors for improving bone healing. The newest membranes cost more, but patients that choose periodontists in Costa Rica will still save fifty to seventy percent when compared to the same procedures in the USA. GTR has been found to promote significant periodontal regeneration. According to one study, “the development of improved biomaterials for periodontal tissue engineering has significantly improved the available treatment options and their clinical results.” Be sure to also ask your Costa Rica periodontist about the use of biological growth factors that can improve bone and tissue regeneration. If you suffer from periodontitis, you’ll want to explore the many options and newest technologies available at Goodness Dental.
