Periodontal (Gum) Disease
Overview-
Periodontal - it is a non-inflammatory disease of the tissues surrounding and holding the tooth, always hits his entire bocca. The cause is the violation of the blood supply to the tissues, resulting in hypoxia, lack of oxygen at this example. In disease there is inflammation due to hypoxia, but due to the overall changes.
Causes-
The cause of periodontal disease is plaque. This sticky film is composed mainly of bacteria. Plaque forms on teeth when starches and sugars in food interact with bacteria that are normally found in the mouth. Brush your teeth, removes plaque. But the plaque will rapidly reform, usually within 24 hours.

It can be performed with tools or an ultrasonic device.
• Root planning- A procedure that discourages ulterior tartar buildup.
• Antibiotics- Antibiotics used to treat periodontitis remains open to debate. The periodontist or dentist may recommend the use of topical or oral antibiotics for bacterial infections. Topical antibiotics are usually the treatment of choice. Mouthwashes may include antibiotics or inserting wires and gels containing antibiotics in the space between the teeth and the gums or in the pockets after the deep cleaning.
Surgical treatments
If you have advanced periodontitis, the gum tissue may not respond to non-surgical treatment and good oral hygiene. In this case, the treatment of periodontitis may require a dental surgery, such as:
• Surgical reduction of the pocket- In this procedure, the periodontist practice small incisions in the gingival so that a gingival tissue section can be raised again, exposing the roots. Since periodontal disease often causes bone loss, the underlying bone can be rebuilt before the gum is sutured. The procedure typically takes from 1-3 hours and is performed under local …show more content…
The graft may be composed of small fragments of their bones or the bone can be synthetic or donated. The bone graft helps to prevent the loss of teeth while holding the tooth in place. It also serves as a platform for the growth of natural bone tissue. The bone graft can be performed during a call guided tissue regeneration technique.
• Tissue regeneration guided- It allows bone regrowth destroyed by bacteria. The dentist puts a special piece of biocompatible tissue between existing bone and tooth. The material allowing the bone to regrow
• Enamel and derivatives- Another technique involves the application of a special gel on a root of the diseased tooth. This gel stimulates the growth of bones and tissues.
Prevention-
The best method to prevent periodontal disease is to follow a good oral hygiene program. This means brushing your teeth at least twice a day. Even better, after every meal or snack or as the dentist recommends. A thorough cleaning with a toothbrush and flossing should take three to five minutes.
Also, see your dentist regularly usually every six or 12 months. If you have risk factors that increase the chances of developing periodontitis, may require professional cleaning of teeth more
