Periodontitis treatment

Periodontitis is a common illness, which according to statistics is likely to affect up to 90% of the population. The disease is fraught with complications and can begin with minor bleeding of the gums, a slight burning sensation and discomfort. An asymptomatic onset also occurs, and the patient learns about the problem only at the doctor’s. Systemic illnesses can also trigger the development of the disease. Whatever the cause, the visit to the doctor should be timely, but even if the moment is lost, modern treatment methods – both conservative and surgical – will help restore lost health.

As already noted, the causes of the disease are the most diverse ones. This is taken into account by the specialists of the clinic of Professor Vesova in the diagnosis and choice of treatment strategy. Periodontitis is, in fact, a violation of the structure of the soft tissues of the gums, and then the process can affect the jaw bones. The roots of the teeth are exposed, and the teeth themselves are loosened, since they no longer hold the inside destroyed bony tissue. .

An experienced doctor with the naked eye recognizes periodontitis at an early stage: loose, bleeding gums, pockets with dental deposits are true signs of problems with gums. To clarify the diagnosis, you need an x-ray image. If signs of atrophy are clearly visible on it, this indicates complications. The doctor determines the accurate diagnosis based on the available data.

The Vector ultrasound system has been successfully used in dentistry since 1990. Over the entire period of the method existence, significant improvements have been made to meet new technological possibilities. Thus, it was possible to achieve maximum efficiency and fully protect soft and hard periodontal tissues from possible mechanical injuries.

During the procedure, the tooth root is thoroughly cleaned from plaques and calculus. The periodontal pocket is also the subject for cleaning. To increase the effectiveness of the procedure, the mineral substance called hydroxylapatite is used, which is produced in the form of a suspension. After the first session, the periodontal condition is improved, the inflammatory process goes down, and the gum fits more closely the tooth tissues.

Diseases of the gums and surrounding tooth tissues in the early stages are successfully treated with modern conservative methods. In more severe cases, the inflammatory process affects a large amount of tissue, penetrates to a considerable depth. In such situations, therapeutic treatment is ineffective and requires the intervention of a dentist-surgeon.

Surgical procedure is the only way out for effective treatment in such cases:

For the treatment of periodontal pockets, open or closed curettage procedures are used. In some cases, flap surgery is indicated. It allows coping with a significant inflammatory process. The surgery of the bridle is aimed at moving it to the correct position in order to eliminate the discomfort and prerequisites for the development of periodontal pathologies.

If the doctor recommends surgery, it often causes patients’ panic. There is no reason for fear! In our clinic such procedures are performed in a comfortable environment with effective anesthesia. Operations are safe, performed in complete sterility, the rehabilitation period is short.

The clinic specialists are guided by the highest quality standards and use the newest achievements in the field of dentistry.
