Scraping and root planing surgical by quadrant

Surgical periodontal treatment is considered an auxiliary to initial causal periodontal treatment. It is performed per quadrant for patient comfort and to have better results. The main objective of surgical periodontal treatment is the long-term preservation of the periodontium (set of ligaments that fix the tooth inside the maxillary bone socket). Periodontal surgery can contribute to this purpose, creating accessibility for the correct scaling and root planing, performed by the professional and, by reestablishing a gingival morphology that facilitates the self-control of plaque by the patient.
