Periodontal disease therapeutics options have improved significantly over the years with the availability of both surgical and non-surgical treatments
Periodontal disease is the
inflammation of gums and bone surrounding teeth. This disease mainly affects adults
and can lead to tooth loss and complications such as bleeding gums, infection,
receding gums, abscess, abscesses, loosening of teeth, and teeth caries.
Periodontal disease occurs when plaque develops around teeth and bones in the
mouth. Bacteria, viruses, and sugars from saliva accumulate within this plaque
and food particles are trapped between the teeth. Once this build-up is not
removed, it hardens into tartar, which results in poor dental health and can
even lead to tooth decay and eventual failure.
Periodontal
disease therapeutics can prevent this disease and restore mouth health.
When gingivitis occurs, this can be treated using antibacterial medications. If
gingivitis is severe, or if it does not respond to antibacterial treatments,
then drainage and root planing can be performed. Flap procedure, stripping,
scaling, and root planing are some of the most common types of periodontal
disease therapy.
There are many types of periodontal
disease therapeutics. Some will focus on reducing gingivitis while others may
promote the growth of new gums. There are also surgical procedures that can be
used. The type of treatment that a patient receives depends on the severity of
the condition, the success rate of the previous treatment method, and the
preference of the patient. The surgery that is most often performed to treat
this disease involves attaching the roots of the damaged gums to the rear of
the tooth. This creates a "stern" appearance so that future dental
infections cannot occur.
The risks of periodontal disease
increase in correlation with the severity of the condition. However, advanced
gum disease does not always lead to surgical treatment. Surgery may be the only
way to ensure that the mouth remains free of infection. Other options include
both surgical and non-surgical treatments. Recently, Italian dental clinician
and researcher Dr. Francesco Martelli announced to inaugurate the first IMI
Dental Clinic in Leeds, U.K. with the goal of eradicating periodontal disease
of the U.K. population.
