gingivectomy is a dental procedure that removes a small amount of gum tissue (gingiva). It is commonly used in periodontal (gum) care to reduce or reshape gum tissue around teeth. It can also be used to improve access for cleaning and to change how the gumline looks. The goal is typically healthier, easier-to-maintain gum contours.
