Periodontal treatments

The essential part of the periodontal treatment is the elimination of the causal factor, which means the removal of bacterial plaque adhering to the tooth surface.  Oral hygiene treatment will only be successful in the long run if the patient prevents a repeating plaque formation by adequate toothbrushing and interdental cleaning techniques. The treatment includes: maintaining the individual oral hygiene by providing the necessary oral health education, the patient must be motivated and controlled by regular check-ups. In addition to plaque removal, the other plaque accumulating factors needs to be eliminated such as rough surfaces, abrasive filling edges, incorrect crowns and bridges. If the gum attachment is lost to the root surface, bacteria will also form plaque under the gum It is called pocket formation. If the depth of the pocket does not exceed 6 mm, removal of the bacterial plaque and calculus /scaling and polishing/ are performed. This treatment can only be made under local anesthesia. For this purpose, we use manual instruments and specific equipment (sonic and ultrasonic depurators and lasers). At the end of the treatment, the root surface debridement and polishing is important because the plaque is less likely to recolonize on the plain surface.
