Periodontitis is a serious infection of the gums that damages the soft tissue. Without treatment, it can destroy the bone that supports the teeth causing tooth loss.

If you have this gum disease, you are eligible for periodontal treatment.

How is periodontitis treated?
The treatment starts with the removal of plaque and calculation of the tooth surface through prophylaxis (cleanings), and non-surgical debridement of the root surface. We motivate and teach the patient to have good oral hygiene care, with the aim of ensuring that the oral cavity is clean and free of infections.

Then we evaluate whether it is necessary to perform surgical treatment, either due to the need to create accessibility for the correct professional debridement of the root surfaces, establish a gingival morphology that facilitates self-control of plaque and improve long-term preservation of teeth, removal of deep periodontal pockets, treatment of bone shape defects to restore the physiological bone contour of the alveolar bone, mucogingival problems (enlargements, gingival recessions, unevenness in the gingival margin), either for aesthetic or cosmetic reasons or due to hypersensitivity of the pieces dental.

For surgical treatment we use various techniques: access procedures, gingivectomies, periodontal plastic surgery (gum grafts, clinical crown lengthening, correction of alveolar ridge defects, regenerative-bone grafts.

Then the patients go to maintenance periodontal therapy for the prevention of reinfection and recurrence of periodontal disease, performing periodic controls at 3-6-month intervals according to the needs of each patient.
