Elimination of the periodontal pocket is a prime objective of periodontal therapy. Normally the gingiva is consistent with the underlying bone, and aberration in gingival form can be corrected by gingivectomy or gingivoplasty if the gingiva is supported by good bony architecture. If periodontitis has caused marginal irregularities or septal deformities the complete elimination of the periodontal pocket is done by osteoplasty or osteoectomy. The Authors through a review of the literature have examined these surgical techniques.
