Gentle surgical removal of necrotic bone
Treatment options for inflammatory bone lesions in the jaw have improved significantly in recent years. The focus remains on the gentle surgical removal of necrotic bone and chronically damaged areas, as well as symptomatic teeth with insufficient root canal treatment.
It is essential to support the body’s own immune system during rebuilding and healing. This is achieved through autologous blood therapy, also known as the PRF method. In addition, accompanying medical therapy – for example by an internal medicine specialist – should be considered where appropriate.

What is focal sanitation, and when is it necessary?
Focal sanitation treats an inflamed area of bone in the jaw that can place a burden on overall health. The necrotic (dead) bone, chronically damaged areas, and non-preservable, insufficiently root-treated teeth are removed gently and surgically. The procedure becomes necessary when such a bone lesion causes persistent complaints or places a permanent strain on the immune system. To promote healing, we support natural regeneration with growth factors from the patient’s own blood (PRF method) and, where needed, involve accompanying specialist medical therapy.
