Periodontal surgery
Prevention, diagnostics and treatment of periodontal diseases as well as tissues surrounding and supporting teeth.
About the Periodontology Speciality
Periodontology is a field of dentistry concerned with the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of gingivitis and periodontitis. These are diseases of the tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth, primarily caused by the accumulation of bacterial plaque and tartar.
Untreated gingivitis, which manifests as inflammation, bleeding and tenderness, can progress to periodontitis (periodontal disease). This more serious form of the condition leads to irreversible bone loss, mobility, and consequently, tooth loss. The progression of the disease can be further accelerated by factors such as smoking, stress, genetic predisposition or diabetes.
Benefits of periodontology for oral health
Prevention of periodontal diseases
Periodontics focuses on disease prevention, providing guidelines on oral hygiene and gum care to avoid pathologies such as gingivitis or periodontitis.
Preservation of natural dentition
By treating and controlling periodontal diseases, periodontology helps to preserve natural teeth, preventing their premature loss or the need for extraction.
Specialist treatment
Periodontists use precise techniques and treatment methods to combat gum disease, such as scaling and root planing, periodontal surgery and laser therapy.
Improving overall health
Periodontal health is closely linked to the health of the entire organism. Proper treatment of the gums helps in preventing and controlling systemic diseases, such as cardiovascular disorders or diabetes.
