Osseos Surgery
Steps Involved in IVF:
Procedure Description
Osseous surgery is performed to treat periodontal (gum) disease when non-surgical interventions, such as scaling and root planing, have not been successful in halting the progression of the condition. Gum disease, in its advanced stages, leads to deep pockets forming around the teeth, allowing bacteria to thrive and further degrade both gum tissue and the underlying bone. Left untreated, this can result in tooth loss and systemic health complications.
During osseous surgery, a periodontist makes small incisions in the gum tissue to access the underlying bone and clean out bacteria, tartar, and damaged tissue. The bone is reshaped, smoothing out any rough surfaces to prevent bacteria from hiding and proliferating. The gum tissue is then repositioned to reduce the depth of the periodontal pockets, allowing for easier cleaning and maintenance post-surgery.
The procedure is generally performed under local anesthesia, with some cases requiring sedation for patient comfort. Advanced imaging techniques, such as digital radiographs, may be used to assess the bone structure and tailor the surgery to the patient's specific needs. Osseous surgery is considered highly effective for patients with moderate to severe periodontal disease, particularly those at risk of tooth loss.
Procedure Duration
Osseous surgery is typically completed in one to two hours, depending on the extent of the gum disease and the number of teeth involved. The procedure is usually performed in a single session, although in cases where the gum disease affects a large portion of the mouth, the surgery may be staged over multiple appointments to focus on different areas.
Following the surgery, patients can expect some discomfort and swelling, which typically subsides within a few days. Pain management is achieved through prescribed medications, and patients are advised to follow a soft food diet and avoid strenuous activity for the first week. Complete healing of the gum tissue usually takes around four to six weeks, but full recovery of the bone and gum structure may take several months.
During the recovery phase, regular follow-up appointments with the periodontist are essential to monitor healing and ensure that the periodontal pockets are successfully reduced. In some cases, regenerative procedures may be combined with osseous surgery to stimulate bone growth and improve long-term results.
Benefits
- Prevention of Tooth Loss: Osseous surgery addresses deep periodontal pockets, reducing the risk of tooth loss caused by advanced gum disease.
- Enhanced Oral Health: By removing harmful bacteria and reshaping the bone, the procedure significantly improves overall oral hygiene and reduces the risk of future infections.
- Long-term Stability: The procedure helps maintain the structural integrity of the teeth and gums, preserving oral function and aesthetics.
- Improved Maintenance: Reduced pocket depth makes it easier for patients to clean and maintain their teeth, lowering the likelihood of recurring periodontal issues.
- Comprehensive Care: Osseous surgery can be combined with other periodontal treatments, such as grafting and regenerative procedures, to achieve optimal outcomes.

Risks & Considerations
- Post-surgical infection: As with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of infection at the surgical site. Patients must adhere to post-operative care instructions to minimize this risk.
- Gum recession: Osseous surgery can result in some degree of gum recession, which may cause sensitivity or aesthetic concerns.
- Bone loss: In rare cases, the reshaping of the bone may lead to further bone loss if not properly managed or if the patient’s oral hygiene does not improve post-surgery.
- Sensitivity: Some patients experience temporary tooth sensitivity following the surgery, especially to hot or cold temperatures.
- Recurrence of gum disease: While osseous surgery is effective in managing gum disease, poor oral hygiene or failure to attend follow-up appointments can result in the recurrence of the condition.
How to Choose the Right Doctor and Hospital
When considering osseous surgery abroad, it is essential to select a qualified periodontist and a reputable healthcare facility. Here are a few tips for making the best choice:
- Verify Credentials: Ensure that the periodontist performing the surgery is board-certified and has specialized training in periodontal surgery. Ask about their experience with osseous surgery and request before-and-after photos of previous cases if available.
- Accreditation of the Facility: Choose a hospital or clinic that meets international standards for dental care and patient safety. Look for accreditations or certifications from reputable healthcare organizations to ensure the facility follows strict protocols for quality and hygiene.
By researching potential providers and understanding the procedure thoroughly, patients can make informed decisions about their care and achieve the best possible outcomes from osseous surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions
What actually happens during hyperstimulation of the ovaries?
The patient will take injectable FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) for eight to eleven days, depending on how long the follicles take to mature. This hormone is produced naturally in a woman’s body causing one egg to develop per cycle. Taking the injectable FSH causes several follicles to develop at once, at approximately the same rate. The development is monitored with vaginal ultrasounds and following the patient’s levels of estradiol and progesterone. FSH brand names include Repronex, Follistim, Menopur, Gonal-F and Bravelle. The patient injects herself daily.
What happens during egg retrieval?
When the follicles have developed enough to be harvested, the patient attends an appointment where she is anesthetized and prepared for the procedure. Next, the doctor uses an ultrasound probe to guide a needle through the vaginal wall and into the follicle of the ovary. The thin needle draws the follicle fluid, which is then examined by an embryologist to find the eggs. The whole process takes about 20 minutes.
What happens to the eggs?
In the next step, the harvested eggs are then fertilized. If the sperm from the potential father, or in some cases, anonymous donor, has normal functionality, the eggs and sperm are placed together in a dish with a nutrient fluid, then incubated overnight to fertilize normally. If the sperm functionality is suboptimal, an embryologist uses Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection to inject a single sperm into a single egg with an extremely precise glass needle. Once fertilization is complete, the embryos are assessed and prepared to be transferred to the patient’s uterus.
How are the embryos transferred back to the uterus?
The doctor and the patient will discuss the number of embryos to be transferred. The number of successfully fertilized eggs usually determines the number of eggs to be placed in the uterus. Embryos are transferred to the uterus with transabdominal ultrasound guidance. This process does not require anesthesia, but it can cause minor cervical or uterine discomfort. Following transfer, the patient is advised to take at least one days bed rest and two or three additional days of rest, then 10 to 12 days later, two pregnancy tests are scheduled to confirm success. Once two positive tests are completed, an obstetrical ultrasound is ordered to show the sac, fetal pole, yolk sac and fetal heart rate.
Embryoscope©
Built into this technology there is a microscope with a powerful camera that allows the uninterrupted monitoring of the embryo during its first hours of life. In this way, we can keep a close eye on the embryo, from the moment when the oocyte is inseminated and begins to divide into smaller and smaller cells, until it can be transferred to the uterus.
