Periodontitis affects people of all ages, and if left untreated, it can lead to complete tooth loss.
Periodontitis affects people of all ages, and if left untreated, it can lead to complete tooth loss. Young people also struggle with the problem of so-called periodontal disease. Periodontitis leads to the destruction of the structures responsible for supporting the teeth. The most common causes of this condition are poor oral hygiene, a weakened immune system, genetic factors, and diabetes. Untreated periodontitis causes teeth to fall out and can contribute to the development of inflammation throughout the entire body.
Treatment methods for periodontitis
The first stage is a visit to the dental hygienist; it is worth booking an appointment for professional and comprehensive teeth cleaning (scaling, air polishing, and fluoridation). It is recommended to continue with regular teeth cleaning every six months, reduce or completely quit smoking, cut down on large amounts of coffee and tea, and improve daily oral hygiene. In the second phase, you should see a dentist specialising in periodontal diseases. It will most likely be necessary to treat the inflammation with antibiotics and then undergo a series of procedures, including curettage (root planing to remove tartar). In the final stage, when advanced periodontitis is present, tooth mobility, shifting, gum pockets filling with pus, and tooth loss occur, which ultimately leads to edentulism. All these problems affect eating and speaking, and facial features change, ageing the face significantly. People affected by the disease withdraw from life and lose their self-confidence.
Treatment methods for edentulism
Ms Luiza attended a consultation at the Malo Clinic in Warsaw with generalised periodontitis, which is advanced periodontal disease. All her teeth were loose; after performing the necessary examinations, Dr Anna Grabowska concluded that it was impossible to save the teeth and proposed treatment using the MALO CLINIC Protocol (All-on-4®) method in both the upper and lower dental arches. The alternative was removable dentures, but the Patient chose a permanent solution on 4 implants.

All-on-4® procedure according to the Malo Clinic Protocol. The procedure itself, meaning the surgical and prosthetic parts, lasted 1 day.
Day of the procedure:
Stage one: medication, local anaesthesia
Stage two: surgical protocol - the surgeon extracted all of the patient's teeth, then placed 4 implants in the appropriate position in each dental arch.
Stage three: prosthetic protocol - collaborative work of the prosthodontist and the laboratory - fabrication of temporary bridges, which were screwed permanently onto the implants just a few hours later.
