Periodontal Bone Grafting and Regeneration in Gurgaon
A periodontal bone graft may be considered for a selected defect in the bone supporting a natural tooth. Regenerative treatment aims to recover some of the bone and tissue lost around teeth. The shape of the defect, control of gum disease and healing affect the result; complete restoration of the lost support is not guaranteed. Graft material is one possible part of that treatment, with its choice and benefit depending on the defect and evidence. AAP information on periodontal regeneration and EFP treatment guidance.
For patients considering periodontal bone grafting in Gurgaon, an assessment with Dr Divya Marwaha at Marwaha Dental Clinic in DLF Phase 2, Gurugram can help clarify the gum findings and suitable further treatment. MDC has served patients since 2004.
Choosing the best dentist for gum treatment in Gurgaon
Before choosing a graft material, discuss the support remaining around the tooth, the response to earlier treatment and the type of defect being considered. A useful consultation explains what regeneration might achieve and the limits that apply to your findings.
Dr Divya Marwaha is MDC’s founder and an experienced dental surgeon, a BDS Gold Medalist with advanced training at AIIMS, New Delhi. Many happy patients and families trust the clinic for continuing dental care, including patients who have returned for 10–15 years. You can arrange a gum assessment to discuss appropriate further care.
Assessing the support around a natural tooth
Periodontitis is gum disease involving loss of the tissues and bone supporting teeth. Assessment checks attachment loss—the loss of tissue support—pocket depth, bleeding and bone loss seen on X-rays. A gum pocket is a space between the tooth and surrounding gum. Disease can be present without obvious symptoms, so feeling comfortable does not establish whether it is controlled. EFP assessment guidance and ADA gum-disease information.
For stage I–III periodontitis, treatment starts with plaque and risk-factor control, followed by professional cleaning at affected sites where indicated. Smoking and diabetes control support periodontal treatment. Tobacco use, diabetes and conditions that make plaque harder to remove are associated with greater risk; those associations do not diagnose an individual patient. EFP staged-care guidance and ADA risk information.
See root planing and deep gum cleaning for initial below-gum treatment and periodontitis treatment for the wider disease-control pathway.
When a remaining bone defect may be considered for regeneration
After initial periodontal treatment, some deep pockets may remain. In stage III periodontitis, regenerative surgery is recommended for suitable remaining deep pockets associated with an intrabony defect—a defect within the bone—at least 3 mm deep. Patient factors and the suitability of the defect must be assessed. The 3 mm measurement describes the bone defect, so a pocket measurement alone does not establish a need for a graft or membrane. EFP guidance on residual pockets and intrabony defects.
Graft materials and the selected procedure
For a suitable intrabony periodontal defect, the gum may be lifted to reach and clean the defect. Bone-graft granules, a membrane or another regenerative material may then be placed. Not every site of bone loss receives a graft or membrane. Material choice should be discussed with you, including whether animal-derived products might be used; regeneration and complete filling of the bone defect are not guaranteed. Leeds information on selected periodontal regenerative procedures.
This decision concerns support around a natural tooth. If you are looking at rebuilding an implant site, the bone-grafting guide for dental implants explains that different treatment purpose.
Guided tissue regeneration
Guided tissue regeneration, or GTR, uses a membrane as a barrier during periodontal regeneration. It is often combined with other regenerative materials. The term describes this barrier approach; discuss whether it is relevant to your proposed treatment. AAP information on membranes in regenerative treatment.
Risks and continued plaque control
Periodontal surgery can cause pain, bleeding, swelling, gum recession or tooth sensitivity, and it may fail. Recession means the gum edge sits lower and more of the tooth shows. Risks vary with the procedure and patient and should be discussed before deciding on treatment. Leeds periodontal-surgery risk information.
Daily brushing and cleaning between teeth help control plaque and recurrence. Have the technique and cleaning plan tailored to your gums. ADA daily gum-care advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Complete restoration is not guaranteed. Periodontal regeneration aims to recover some supporting bone and tissue lost around a natural tooth in selected defects. The shape of the defect, control of gum disease and healing affect the result. Whether graft material is useful and which material is chosen depend on the anatomy of the defect and the evidence. AAP regenerative-treatment information and EFP guidance.
No. A gum pocket is a space between the tooth and surrounding gum, and its depth alone does not establish a need for a graft. After initial treatment for periodontitis—gum disease with loss of the tissues and bone supporting teeth—regenerative surgery is recommended in stage III for suitable remaining deep pockets associated with an intrabony defect—a defect within the bone—at least 3 mm deep. That measurement refers to the bone defect. Patient factors and defect suitability need assessment before choosing further treatment. EFP residual-pocket guidance.
For a suitable intrabony periodontal defect—a defect within the bone supporting a tooth—the gum may be lifted to reach and clean the area. Bone-graft granules, a membrane or other regenerative material may be placed. Not every area of bone loss needs these materials. Discuss the material choice, including possible animal-derived products, before treatment; regeneration and complete filling of the defect are not guaranteed. Leeds periodontal-surgery information.
Yes, animal-derived products are a possible material choice in selected periodontal regenerative treatment. Discuss the proposed material with your treating dentist. For a suitable defect within the bone supporting a tooth, graft granules, a membrane or another regenerative material may be used after cleaning; not every site receives a graft or membrane, and regeneration or complete bone filling is not guaranteed. Leeds material-choice information.
Guided tissue regeneration, often shortened to GTR, uses a membrane as a barrier during periodontal regeneration. It is often combined with other regenerative materials. Discuss whether that barrier approach is relevant to the treatment being considered for you. AAP regenerative-treatment information.
Periodontal surgery can cause pain, bleeding, swelling, gum recession or tooth sensitivity, and it may fail. Gum recession means the gum edge sits lower, exposing more of the tooth. Risks vary with the procedure and patient, so discuss the risks of your proposed procedure before deciding on treatment. Leeds surgical-risk information.
