Periodontics
The Periodont is the set of tissues that is around the tooth responsible for its fixation, comprises: gums, alveolar bone and fibers that bind root to the bone.
The bacterial plaque adhered to the tooth leads to an inflammatory process causing edema and gingival bleeding (gingivitis), which can evolve into a periodontitis. However, some changes in the gums may be associated with hormonal causes, use of some medications, fall resistance, etc. Occlusal and emotional problems intensify periodontal disease.
Gingivitis is a gingival inflammation without bone impairment.
The periodontitis is the commitment of periodontal tissues by the inflammatory process, which leads to the reabsorption of the bone that is around the roots of the teeth.
The most characteristic sign of the disease is the bleeding, but we must also be aware of: changes in the position of the teeth, mobility, gingival retraction, food retention, swelling etc.
The treatment is done by removing the plaque and the Tartar adhered to the tooth by scraping and straightening the roots of the teeth. When the scraping instruments do not reach the entire area of the compromised root, the surgeries are indicated; To facilitate access.
Once the disease is treated, the tissues do not fully recover, they always become sequels, with the exception of gingivitis. Periodontal disease leaves sequels such as: Aesthetic changes, displacement in the position of the tooth, gingival retraction with consequent increase in tooth length, etc. There are surgical and prosthetic procedures that can minimize these defects.
The maintenance visits aim to maintain the health condition achieved with the treatment avoiding both the progression of the disease and its recurrence. In the most advanced cases, it is recommended to have a periodicity of 3 months and 4 to 6 months for most people.
Their prevention should be done with correct oral hygiene, removing the plaque and periodic cleaning done by the dentist.
Privacity Policy
In respect to our customers this site does not disclose situations such as the "before and after" of the treatment. If there is an interest in treatments that involve aesthetics, dentures, prosthesis on implants, dental implants or bone grafts, we have several cases (case files) with the before and after, documented in the clinic itself, which will be shown to the patient in Evaluation. It is important to note that the clinical cases are individual, so for each situation there is a restorative resolution. The indication of the type of prosthesis and aesthetic resolution for each patient depends on the quantity and quality of the structures available, as well as the organic response to the planning imposed for each case. All the texts of the specialty link are compilations and simplified adjustments of specific articles and books in the area.
