Periodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of tissues that surround the tooth and fix it in the bone tissues of the jaw. Bleeding gums, pain in the gums when eating, swollen gums, tooth mobility, increased sensitivity – these are reasons to consult a periodontist
Gum curettage – cleaning gum pockets from microbial plaque, food and decomposed tissue, an effective treatment for gum inflammation and increasing the depth of periodontal pockets.
In the human oral cavity there is a constant process of multiplication of pathogens. But with good dental hygiene and strong protective properties of saliva, microbial colonies do not reach such a number to provoke the development of inflammatory-infectious diseases of the gums.
Periodontitis is an inflammation of the periodontium, i.e. the tissues surrounding the root of the tooth. The disease is very common and insidious, as it is often asymptomatic or practically asymptomatic for quite a long time. However, it is periodontitis, not dental caries, that is the main cause of tooth loss in adults.
A periodontal chart is a medical document that indicates all negative changes in the periodontal tissues based on the results of a comprehensive diagnosis. It is with the examination and creation of the periodontal chart that the treatment planning for periodontal disease begins.
