What is periodontitis
Periodonts -
This is a set of fabrics that surround the tooth and provide its fixation
in jaw bones. This complex includes gums, periodontal
Bundles connecting tooth root with bone well, bone tissue
Alveolar Process and Tooth Root Cement. Perdontitis -
This inflammatory process in which all structures are involved
Periodonta. It is characterized by the destruction of the sewer
and the progressive degradation of alveolar jaw bones.
Paradontitis is one of the most common causes of loss of teeth in adulthood.
More often
Total periodontitis occurs with poor oral hygiene (irregular
or improper cleaning of teeth, dissemination of dental thread and t.D.), what
leads to the accumulation of dental deputies and the development of inflammation in the gum -
Gingivita. Over time, the gingivitis can go to periodontitis.
How
Only inflammation overcomes the main barrier - the seashest
connection, it goes to the fabric - periodont
and alveolar bone. Being a logical continuation
Gingivitis, periodontitis acquires absolutely new features.
Firstly,
A periodontal pocket is formed, in which microbial clusters
turn out to be reliably hidden and not removed during the cleaning of the teeth.
Secondly, in the depths of periodontal pockets actively multiply
The most aggressive microbial species - anaerobes, spirochetes.
Thirdly,
from pockets and microorganisms themselves, and their enzymes and toxins with ease
penetrate to those subject to the subjects, causing their destruction. How
Consequence, the stability of the teeth is reduced, they become movable,
And the mechanical load on teeth with chewing is traumatic.
As a result
This injury destruction of the supporting apparatus of the tooth is especially fast,
that, in turn, further contributes to the spread of microbial
Clusters. Forming periodontitis.
Early symptoms of periodontitis -
Blooding gums, redness and unpleasant smell from mouth. On more
Late stages Patients celebrate dental necks,
their increased mobility, fan-shaped discrepancy.
Diagnosis of periodontitis
Diagnosis
«Perdontitis» Installed by a periodonticist. In case of inspection
marked redness of the gum edge, often with a bluish tinge,
The gums are loosely adjacent to the neck of the teeth. When probing a thin probe
The periodontal pockets of different depths are determined, depending
from the severity of the process. Are over - and fit dental
Deposit - Toothstone. With pronounced inflammation activity
take purulent separation from periodontal pockets and significant
Teeth mobility.
To assess the degree of bone destruction
An X-ray study is prescribed. When periodontitis is noted
Reducing the height of the alveolar process due to resorption of bone tissue
Interlimoolar partitions.
Treatment and prevention of periodontitis
Treatment
periodontitis is directed primarily on the removal of microbial
Clusters, Toothed Stone and Granulations from Periodontal Pockets.
At
considerable depth of periodontal pockets their thorough treatment
possible only surgical. After the operation is the main
Task - prevent re-infection. For this purpose
Controlled oral hygiene, antimicrobial rinsing
(chlorhexidine, corsodil and t.D.).
Prevention is
in regular and thorough cleaning of teeth, using dental thread for
Cleaning interdental gaps. At least once a year you need to shoot
Dental stomatologist (or perodontologist).
