This procedure takes one to three hours and is performed under local anesthesia.
2) Soft tissue graft:
When a patient’s gums are lost due to any periodontal disease, the teeth appear longer than their normal length, and the damaged ones are replaced.
In soft tissue grafting, a small amount of tissues is removed from the roof (palate) of the mouth or tissues from a donor are attached to the affected site.
This procedure mainly reduces further recession of the gums and covers the exposed root. is.
3) Bone grafting:
This procedure is performed when the bone surrounding the teeth has been destroyed due to periodontitis.
Bone grafting uses the patient’s own bone or synthetic or donated bone.
Bone grafting can hold the tooth in place, preventing tooth loss.
Bone grafting stimulates the growth of natural bone The platform is provided for.
4) Guided tissues regeneration:
This procedure provides a platform for the regrowth of bone that has been destroyed by bacteria.
In this procedure, the dentist places special pieces of biocompatible fabric between the bone and the teeth.
This material prevents unwanted tissue from moving into the healing area, allowing the bone to grow properly.
In enamel matrix derivative application, a specialized gel is applied to the root of the diseased tooth.
This gel contains the same proteins that are present in the enamel of the tooth, which are responsible for stimulating the growth of healthy bone and tissue.

Due to all these reasons, the condition of acute stress gastritis arises.
D) Atrophic gastritis (atrophic gastritis),
Atrophic gastritis is a chronic form of gastritis in which the gastric mucosal lining becomes very thin (thin/atrophy) and the cells in the stomach that produce digestive acid and enzymes are lost.
This type is mainly caused by an autoimmune disorder. is.
This type of gastritis is caused by Helicobacter pylori ( ) is caused by a bacteria called Helicobacter pylori.
Acute gastritis and chronic gastritis are both types of gastritis caused by a bacteria called Helicobacter pylori.
F) Autoimmune gastritis,
