There are several ways to treat periodontitis, depending on its severity. The goal of treatment of periodontal pockets is completely clean of bacteria and prevent further damage. The treatment can be performed periodontist, a dentist or dental hygienist. Treatment is most effective when someone takes the daily routine of good oral hygiene.
Non-surgical treatments
If your periodontal disease is advanced, treatment may include less invasive procedures, including:
Scale. Scaling removes tartar and bacteria on the surfaces of your teeth and under the gums. Can be performed using instruments or an ultrasonic device.
Root planing. Root planing smooths the root surfaces, discouraging further accumulation of tartar.
Antibiotics. Antibiotics in the treatment of periodontitis is still open to debate. Your periodontist or dentist may recommend the use of topical or oral antibiotics to help control bacterial infection. Topical antibiotics are usually the treatment of choice. They may contain an antibiotic mouthwashes or gels with the addition of discussions and antibiotics in the space between the teeth and gums or pocket after deep cleaning. However, oral antibiotics may be necessary to completely remove the infection-causing bacteria.
Surgical treatments
If you have advanced periodontitis, gums does not respond to nonsurgical treatment and good oral hygiene. In this case, your periodontal treatment requires surgery tooth, such as:
Flap surgery (pocket reduction surgery). In this procedure, the periodontist will make small incisions in the gums, so that the gum tissue can be traced back, exposing the roots to improve scaling and polishing. Because periodontitis often causes bone loss, the underlying bone can be recontoured before the gum tissue is sewn back into place. The procedure usually takes 1-3 hours and performed under local anesthesia.
Soft tissue grafts. When you lose the gum periodontal disease, your gums back, which makes your teeth longer than normal. You can have the damaged tissue is replaced. This is usually done by removing a small amount of tissue from the roof of your mouth (palate) or another donor source and attach it to this site. This procedure can help reduce gum recession others, cover exposed roots and give your teeth a more cosmetically appealing.
Bone graft. This procedure is performed when the periodontal disease has destroyed the bone surrounding the tooth root. Graft can be made up of tiny fragments of bone marrow or your own can be synthetic or donated. Bone graft to prevent the loss of teeth and hold the tooth in its place. It also serves as a platform for the regrowth of natural bone. Bone grafting can be performed during a technique called guided tissue regeneration.
Guided tissue regeneration. This allows the regeneration of bone, which was destroyed by bacteria. In one method, the dentist places a special piece of biocompatible fabric between existing bone and tooth. The material prevents unwanted tissue from entering the area of healing, the bone instead of pushing.
Enamel matrix derivative application. Another technique is to apply a special gel to the tooth root. This gel contains the same proteins found in developing enamel of the teeth and stimulates the growth of bones and tissues.
