Periodontology
A healthy and beautiful smile also depends on healthy gums. Symptoms such as the unveiling of the teeth’s necks, sensitivity to temperature changes, elongation of the teeth’s crowns, wobbling of teeth, loosening or even their loss, halitosis, bleeding, swelling and redness of the gums show gum disease and other tissues surrounding the teeth - periodontitis. You and your doctor (periodontologist) can prevent periodontal disease. Even when the disease has already begun it can be treated successfully.
Periodontal consultation
During the consultation visit the doctor periodontologist diagnoses periodontal status, assesses the condition of the bones and sets the optimal treatment plan.
Above-gums scaling
Above-gums scaling is the removal of plaque accumulating on the surfaces of tooth crowns with ultrasonic devices called scalers. After scaling is done the polishing of the surface of all surfaces of cleared teeth It prevents from re-deposition of plaque. After professional tooth cleaning is advisable to apply fluoride pastes.
Subgingival scaling
The treatment is applied only in case of a tartar located below the gums. Usually it is conducted with above-gums scaling. There are applied both ultrasonic scalers and hand tools calledKirety here. The last element of this treatment is polishing of a root surface (root planing) and implementation of fluoride varnish.
Open curettage
It is used in case of presence of depth periodontal pockets, caused by periodontities development . After surgical exposure of the gums we carry out thorough cleaning of the tooth roots. The treatment ends with a stitching of the gums making them easy to heal. This kind of curettage is the best way of elimination of gums’ inflammation and leads to curbing of periodontal diseases.
Surgical elongation of the crown
We perform surgical treatment of elongation of the crown when the tooth is badly damaged, below the gum line and is not eligible for prosthetic reconstruction or if there is not enough tooth surface for the implementation of a prosthetic crown. This procedure allows to secure firmly the prosthetic restoration and reduces the possibility of irritation to the gums.
Gingivectomia (gingivoplasty)
This is a surgical medical treatment involving the removal of overgrown gums and restoring their natural shape and healthy appearance.
Splint-denture
In case of patients with periodontities the splint-denture are performed. There are skeletal dentures that fill up missing teeth and stabilize wobbly teeth in the same time. They consist of more advanced clamps that hold the teeth and do not allow them for excessive movement. They cause slow and sometimes even to stop the loss of teeth affected by periodontities.
