Periodontal disease therapeutics options have improved significantly over the years with the availability of both surgical and non-surgical treatments

 

Periodontal Disease Therapeutics

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.
