Excision of lesion or tissue of gum Description The physician removes a lesion of the dentoalveolar structures. If the lesion is within the mucosa, the physician makes incisions around the lesion and dissects it away from adjacent structures. If the lesion is within the bone, the mucosa is incised and the underlying bone exposed. The lesion is removed from the bone and the incision closed with layered sutures.
