A parodontális sebészet áttekintő története

Abstract

The first notes about gingival diseases were made around 1500 B.C. in Papyrus Ebers in Egypt and Mesopotamia. Ever since the importance of the supporting tissue of the teeth is exponentially increasing. Especially in implant dentistry, it is not just a matter of aesthetics but also plays a main role in functionality. The nomenclature and definitions of periodontal surgeries have enormously changed in the past decades. The aim of this article is to review the evolution of periodontal surgical procedures and the capital changes in the nomenclature.
