Periodontics

Periodontics is the field of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of the supporting structures of the teeth. It also deals with the diseases and conditions that affect them. Tooth is supported by a system of structures that attaches it to the dental bone. he main functions of the periodontium are to allow the tooth to be attached to the bone and also provide a barrier for the underlying structures. So when the periodontium is affected, the entire system gets collapsed. Smoking, poor oral hygiene, poor nutrition, stress or medications can cause inflammation of the gums. Inflammation is the start of any disease. Common symptoms seen are bleeding gums, bad breath, loose teeth, tooth sensitivity, and puffy gums. Periodontal procedures performed at our clinic are listed below.

Oral Hygiene Maintenance

 

Dentistry is about prevention is better than cure always. Mouth has millions of microorganism but they are opportunistic. This means, if the food that we consume to stay in the teeth, is acted upon by the bacteria and produces acid and forms soft deposits. If this is not removed it may lead to reversible gum damage. Further delay may lead to permanent gum damage. For this regular dental check-up is necessary with once in 6 months of teeth cleaning.

Gum diseases

 

 

Irritation to the gum, medically known as gingivitis is a reversible damage to the gums. Professional teeth cleaning is done to prevent or treat the affected  gums. This is carried out by mechanically removing soft deposits and hard deposits on the teeth. This is usually done before any minor or major surgery, tooth replacement, orthodontic treatment, root canal etc, to reduce the irritation of the gums.

Disease of Supporting Structures of The Teeth

 
Damage to the supporting structures of teeth is irreversible and cannot be treated by teeth cleaning alone. It is usually treated by deep cleaning and simple surgical procedure. If left untreated it may damage the bone support to the teeth that leads to loosening of the teeth and severe infection.

Regenerative Procedures

Regenerative procedures are mainly done when the bone supporting the teeth is destroyed. Grafts are generally required in case of shortened gums, sensitivity due to root exposure or in case of aesthetic compromise. Many grafts are used in gum surgery. Regenerative procedures cannot be done in case of extreme or last stage periodontal disease. Membranes (filters), bone grafts or tissue-stimulating proteins can be used to encourage the body’s natural ability to regenerate bone and tissue.

Aesthetic surgeries

 

In recent times, patients undergoing aesthetic surgeries has been vastly increased. Frenectomy, crown lengthening, gum contouring are some of the aesthetic gum surgeries done. These are advised when the patient has a gummy smile, when the length of the teeth is less for cap or when the gums are irregularly shaped over the teeth.

Laser Surgeries

 
Laser has been ruling many areas of dentistry for the past 3 decades. Advanced lasers are a good choice in bacterial reduction and clotting. Laser reduces the chances of infection and promotes fast recovery. It also decreases swelling, scarring. In laser surgeries, sutures are not required and the surgery time is reduced. At present, lasers are used in various gum surgeries.
