Abstract
A method for removing deep gingival pockets provides for excise of disease while providing for reconnection of the tissue-tooth connection. Steps in the process include creating a gingival trough in the pocket with a contact laser fiber, excising the pocket epithelium while selectively removing sulcular and pocket epithelium and granulation tissue fully around the targeted tooth to the full depth without breaking through the mucogingival junction, scaling the root surfaces to the full depth ultrasonically, lasing the pocket to remove granulation tissue and to disinfect the tissue, assist in hemostatis, cauterize free nerve endings, seal lymphatics, prepare the tissue for welding and desensitize the tooth, and compressing the tissue against the tooth until adhesion is achieved.
