Periodontology in Estedent
Periodontology is a field with takes care of the tissues which surrounds a tooth: bone and gingiva.
There are procedures which remove bacteria and infected tissues. We clean teeth by subgingival scaling or curettage.
Periodontology is also a regeneration of the lost soft tissues (gingiva) or bone which surrounds teeth. This saves our teeth to stay longer in the mouth.
Periodontal procedures in our clinic
In Estedent, periodontist performs even very complex periodontal treatment:

- Gingivectomy - elongation of a crown. This is a procedure for the patients who have an excess of gums or asymmetrical gingival line.
- Curettage - Subgingival calculus in many cases should be cleaned by exposure of the soft tissues to remove it thoroughly.
- Corticotomy - Small cuts in the bone during an orthodontic treatment are performed to shorten the treatment time and to make it more predictable.
Why should we take care of the gums?
Big recessions, exposed roots is a risk for a tooth that the problem will progress. This hinder proper oral hygiene, what may result in root carries. Moreover it causes hypersensitivity of the teeth. With gums, also bone below is disappearing, what results in wobbling of the teeth, uncontrolled movement or even loss.
In case of inflammation of the gums and overgrowth of bacteria, which are harmful for the periodontal tissue, cleaning by proper procedure is recommended – curettage. Leaving inflammation not treated is a risk, that the bacteria will spread, infect other tissues or even cause necrosis – irreversible loss of the bone and gingiva.
In some cases on intraoral mucosa other diseases could be diagnosed, such as neoplasm, tumor, systemic diseases, hormonal or virus infections. Sometimes a dentist is the first to diagnose big systemic problem and refer a patient for the proper treatment. That is why regular dental check-ups are so important.
Tissues surrounding teeth are foundation. Neglected gums or bone can result even in the tooth loss.
Periodontology - way to get a beautiful smile
Gingival condition has an impact on the smile. Inflammation cause red, swollen and bleeding gums. Low level of gingiva, recessions, especially in the front region looks unaesthetic.
Proper volume of the bone, prevents teeth to stay in mouth. Covering exposed roots, protects them and diminish sensitivity. Gingivectomy, removal of the excess of gingiva, elongates crowns, what improves smile.
Corticotomy is a periodontal procedure, which speeds up orthodontic treatment and lowers a risk of recession or resorption.
Curettage and scaling are important hygienic procedures, which reduce number of bacteria and calculus inside the mouth. It is important for the patients to keep clean teeth and healthy gums.
