The bone is a unique tissue. It can be restored up to its normal functioning and normal structure without any scars and external changes. The bone can eventually recover within 3-6 months. For this purpose, bone substitutes and special membranes promoting bone formation are used.
There are various substitutes, both synthetic and natural. Synthetic substitutes are created as an alternative to natural ones, although the latter are still used in the world most of all. Bone substitutes can be in the form of granules or gel.
How does the bone restoration procedure proceed?
It is similar to periodontological surgery. After performing local anaesthesia, the mucosa and periosteum are moved aside, the tissue affected by inflammation is removed, the surface of the root and bone tissue is cleaned, and then the bone is covered with bone granules or gel. Thereafter, the gum is sewed up, and a special bandage is applied for one week.
What is the effect of this treatment method?
It is a modern treatment method, the application of which not only preserves the remaining bone, but also restores a part of the lost bone tissue around teeth. Such teeth harden and function for a longer time.
3. Third treatment stage (maintenance treatment)
Why is maintenance treatment necessary in case of periodontitis?
Maintenance treatment is necessary in order to prevent the recurrence of the disease in future. If deposits begin to accumulate on the surface of teeth again, the gum becomes infected and the disease recurs.
In case of recurrence of the disease, it most frequently develops very quickly and is difficult to treat. In order to avoid recurrent gun inflammation, it is necessary to perform repeated professional oral hygiene procedures and to maintain the immune protection of the oral cavity.
How often is it necessary to attend oral hygiene procedures for maintenance treatment?
After the course of basic treatment, you will need to attend them once in 3 months or in accordance with the individual recommended schedule established by the hygiene specialist. You will always receive timely assistance and maintain healthy teeth if you visit the oral hygiene specialist regularly.
Periodontitis complex treatment
Quite often, periodontal diseases are associated with other oral cavity pathologies: irregular position of teeth, lack of teeth, multiple caries and its complications, and bite deformations after loss of teeth. When treatment covers more than one problem, and several diseases of the oral cavity should be treated, such treatment is called complex treatment. For example, the treatment course can be simultaneously controlled by a periodontologist, orthodontist and oral surgeon.
Periodontitis can be effectively treated only provided that the following conditions are observed:
– Application of correct diagnostics, microbiological and genetic examinations;
– Regular professional oral hygiene procedures to be established by the doctor individually with the periodicity recommended to you;
– Observance of the recommendations of the attending doctor;
– Prompt response and seeking professional help in case of noticing primary signs of periodontitis;
– Correct regular maintenance of oral hygiene at home.
