Gingivotomy is a method that allows for the removal of dental calculus in periodontal pockets by making a vertical incision in the gum. This procedure is aimed at improving the aesthetics and functionality of the oral cavity. Sometimes, a gingivectomy is additionally performed – the removal of an excess amount of gum tissue. Its excess can lead to cosmetic defects, difficulties in oral hygiene, and problems with wearing dentures.
