Periodontology

According to the latest studies, over 80% of the population suffer from diseases of the gums and periodontal tissues supporting the teeth (periodontium). From the age of 35 more teeth are lost through this condition, known as periodontitis, than through caries. The first indication of the initially almost painless disease is bleeding of the gums due to inflammation of the gingival tissue. This progresses to subsequent noticeable loosening of the teeth, tooth migration and ultimately tooth loss.

Furthermore, the periodontium is described as a portal for disease-producing bacteria. For example, periodontitis increases the risk of developing coronary heart disease, pregnant women with periodontitis suffer more frequently from miscarriages and periodontitis makes the metabolic control of diabetes (diabetes mellitus) more difficult. Unfortunately, insufficient attention is paid to this disease not only by patients but also by many doctors and dentists. Periodontal treatment and guided tissue regeneration (GTR). Following detailed examination and professional pre-treatment measures, the bacteria and hard deposits responsible, which are located in the pocket below the gum, are meticulously removed in separate sessions. If bone has already been destroyed by the inflammation, it is currently possible, in many cases, to regenerate it selectively, e.g. using special membrane techniques, in order to reduce tooth loss as a result of bone destruction. Regular check-ups and preventive measures are essential for maintaining gum health! In connection with this, we offer you a special inspection program.
