Periodontology

What is periodontal disease?
Periodontal disease is a multifactorial polymicrobial infection characterized by the destruction of the connective tissues that support the tooth in the alveolus. The disease begins as an acute inflammation of the gingival tissue and untreated, it can progress with the formation of periodontal pockets and even teeth loss.
The oral cavity is home to over 6 trillion bacteria, representing over 700 species of bacteria and other microorganisms. When there is an imbalance between different bacterial species, the development of diseases of the oral cavity, carious lesions and periodontal diseases is favored.
Micro IDent tests
Micro-IDent tests are useful for:
– identification of risk areas and early recognition of relapses;
– choosing the appropriate antibiotic and documenting therapeutic success;
– assessment of the risk of failed implant before treatment.
Moreover, this knowledge of the microbiological situation allows an early therapy that prevents the appearance or progression of the disease.
Periodontal treatment at Orizont Dent
To stimulate the tissue regeneration processes at the oral level, we use dental plasmolifting.
The plasmolifting method involves the injection of autologous plasma in the inflamed areas of the gums, in the post-extraction alveoli, but also as a method of maintenance and regeneration of inflamed tissues.
This procedure treats inflammatory processes in the periodontal tissues and at the same time can lead to improved gum color and structure, influencing the repair and development of bone tissue and preventing further bone loss.
