Open curettage Warsaw
There are times when simply cleaning the teeth is no longer enough. The gums recede, bleeding occurs and the teeth begin to lose their stability. Open curettage is a procedure that allows you to reach where standard treatment methods no longer have access. Its aim is to stop periodontal disease and protect teeth from further damage.
At Supradent, we treat open curettage as a viable form of tissue and tooth salvage, not just a surgical procedure. We plan the whole process carefully, with the patient's comfort and the long-term effect of the treatment in mind.
Open curettage
When is an open curettage necessary?
Open curettage is used to treat advanced periodontal disease when deep gingival pockets form around the teeth. Bacterial plaque, subgingival tartar and toxins accumulate in such areas, leading to bone loss and tooth loosening.
The procedure involves surgically exposing the gingiva so that the doctor can thoroughly clean the tooth root and the bone surface. This makes it possible to remove inflammatory foci, smooth the roots and create the conditions for the gums to reattach. This is a precise treatment that offers the chance to halt the progression of periodontitis.
For the patient, this means not only an improvement in the health of the gums, but often also a reduction in tooth mobility, cessation of bleeding and improved comfort when eating and brushing.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is an open curettage?
The procedure involves incising and deviating the gums to thoroughly clean the deep periodontal pockets. The doctor removes tartar, bacteria and inflamed tissue and then reshapes the root surface to reduce re-deposition.
Does an open curettage hurt?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so the patient does not feel any pain. After the procedure, temporary discomfort or tenderness may occur, which usually disappears after a few days.
How long does it take to heal after an open curettage?
The first phase of healing usually lasts from a few days to about two weeks. Full tissue stabilisation may take longer, depending on the severity of the periodontal disease.
Does open curettage save teeth?
In many cases, yes. The treatment helps to inhibit the inflammatory process and limit further bone loss. This makes it possible to preserve one's own teeth for many years.
What is the difference between open and closed curettage?
Closed curettage is performed without incising the gum and is used for shallower pockets. Open curettage allows a more thorough cleaning and is used in more advanced cases.
Do you need to change your oral hygiene after the procedure?
Correct hygiene is key to maintaining treatment results. The patient is given individual recommendations for brushing, flossing and follow-up and hygiene appointments.
