Periodontics (Gum Treatment)
Periodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases and conditions that affect the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. Periodontal diseases, such as gingivitis and periodontitis, are characterized by inflammation and infection of the gums, which can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss if left untreated. This is a non-surgical deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline. Scaling involves removing plaque and tartar from the tooth surface, while root planing smoothens the root surfaces to prevent bacteria from adhering to them. Scaling and root planing help control the progression of gum disease and promote gum tissue healing. In some cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to treat advanced gum disease or correct certain gum-related issues. Periodontal surgery includes procedures such as pocket reduction surgery (flap surgery), gum grafting, bone grafting, and guided tissue regeneration. These procedures aim to eliminate infection, reduce pocket depths, restore gum tissue, and promote bone regeneration. Periodontists are often involved in the placement and maintenance of dental implants. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth. Proper gum health and sufficient bone support are crucial for the success of dental implant treatment.
