Prevention of periodontal diseases
Periodontal disease affects about 60 percent of Italians and is caused by various factors that damage the supporting tissues of the teeth (gums, alveolar bone, periodontal ligament and root cementum). Periodontology is the branch of dentistry that treats and prevents periodontitis by diagnosing and treating common symptoms such as plaque and tartar buildup , bone loss , and gum recession. Numerous studies show a close correlation between periodontal disease and systemic diseases.
Treatment of periodontitis
Operating Procedures
Treatment of periodontal disease requires scrupulous study of the oral cavity. The most common clinical sign is the periodontal pocket, a space near the tooth where tartar accumulates, causing gingival inflammation and bone subsidence. Periodontal pockets are diagnosed by periodontal probing and radiographic status, essential steps in planning the most appropriate treatment. The physician will choose operative procedures based on the patient's clinical situation.
Effects of periodontitis
The accumulation of plaque and tartar leads to the formation of periodontal pockets, which, in a short time, result in reddening of the gingiva and sagging of the bone surrounding the teeth. Preventing the occurrence of periodontal pockets is essential to avoid irreversible damage, such as bone loss. Repeating a hygiene session frequently can help the patient maintain proper health.
Periodontal Survey
The depth of periodontal pockets is a fundamental prognostic data for therapeutic purposes and is detected by means of the periodontal probe that will allow us to inspect the circumference of all the teeth until the "periodontal chart" is completely compiled, in which we will have well diagrammed all the possible pockets present in the oral cavity.
Periodontal Therapy
Periodontal therapy always begins with a thorough hygiene session. If an abundant amount of subgingival calculus is present, a root polishing session, that is, cleaning the roots of the teeth, is necessary. Next, our practice takes advantage of the technology and benefits of the diode laser for disinfection and healing of periodontal pockets.

How can I prevent periodontitis?
Maintain good daily oral hygiene by following the instructions given by the hygienist or dentist, then performing periodic checkups.
Is periodontal treatment painful?
