Periodontal Disease

Periodontal diseases or periodontitis, are you conscious that disease is the result of untreated gingivitis?

Do you know if nothing is done at this step your teeth may become loose?

How to realize the Process

When subgingivae deposits (food debris, dead cells bacteria and other constituents of saliva) have not removed, they continue their way along the sides of the roots causing an inflammation of the area.

This slow inflammatory process, in which pyogenic bacteria play at least an important role, is symbolized by the detachment of the soft tissue from the surface of the root, this producing a pocket along of the root.

The area of alveolar bone (space where the root is) adjacent to the pocket is continually absorbed, or is destroyed as a result of the inflammatory process.

The tooth has a tendency to prove in the direction away from the pocket therefore disturbing the closing of the mouth (the occlusion).

Severe pockets progress in depth toward the apex of the root rather than laterally and the tooth become more and more loosened. The gum margin is often inflamed and bleeds on slight irritation.

If you exert a pressure on the gum with the finger, you will see appearing some pus from the pocket and you can appreciate the extent of destruction of alveolar bone and the labial or lingual side of the root.

Ordinary the progress in depth of pockets is slow and can take probably many years (two or tree years) to add new millimeters in depth.

Signs

In general no discomfort during the early stage, however the pockets go in depth there will be free discharge of pus into the mouth and more acute be accompanied by considerable pain and tenderness.

Such situation may cause the tooth to be slightly elevated in its socket and tender to touch before when the jaw are closed.

Treatment

The standard treatment periodontal disease depends on the stage level and amount of destroyed alveolar bone by the infectious process for each case.

If the x-ray shows a greater amount of bone yet, the dentist may plan several rendezvous for clean up in depth with appropriate instruments, and advices the use of H202 (hydrogen peroxide) as mouthwash and antibiotic.

If there is a great destruction of alveolar bone where the tooth begins to be shaky, the dentist may use the first medication and apparatus to maintain in place the teeth.

If the prognosis is dark, the extraction will be better.The X ray is very important to know how to cure periodontal disease or the standard treatment to apply.

Dental laser constitutes one of the latest treatment in periodontal problems today. It allows to gently and selectively remove delicate infected gum tissue.

Moreover, it seals off tiny blood vessels (no more bleeding gums) and nerve endings while facilitating instantly healing, and the bacteria are vaporized.

This latest device called dental laser uses the energy provided from a focused beam of light.
