Italian term

chirurgia resettiva

Italian to English Medical Medical: Dentistry reconstructive dentistry
From a paper of dental reconstruction:-

"Subito dopo l’estrusione, se il livello gengivale del dente trattato deve essere uniformato a quello dei denti vicini, si effettuerà un sondaggio – previa anestesia – fino alla cresta alveolare e in base alla misurazione rilevata si valuterà l’opportunità di effettuare una gengivectomia o chirurgia resettiva con lembo riposizionato."

Resetting surgery? Reconstructive surgery?

Any suggestions.

resection

I would simply call it resection - since to resect means to cut out, to remove - it could only be a surgical procedure and the word surgical is superfluous.
