Definition
A surgical procedure in which a dentist or periodontist removes diseased or overgrown gum tissue.
Etymology
Compound of Latin 'gingiva' (gum) and Greek '-ectomy' (removal, cutting out). The term was created using standard medical terminology to describe a specific surgical procedure.
Kelly Says
Gingivectomy was revolutionary in the 1920s because it finally gave dentists a way to treat severe gum disease other than extraction—but today, many periodontists try less invasive treatments first, reserving gingivectomy for cases that don't respond to other therapies.
