Periiodontitis is a serious gum infection that damages soft tissue and destroys the bones around the teeth. Periodontitis can cause teeth to be loose or lead to tooth loss.
Periodontitis is a common and preventable disease. The cause of the disease is usually due to poor dental hygiene. Brush your teeth at least twice a day, daily dentistry and regular dental testing can prevent periodontitis successfully and reduce the chance of worse development of the disease.What is periodontal disease , what is the cause and treatment?
Causes of Cycle's disease
In most cases, periodontitis begins with plaque - a membrane that sticks to the teeth includes mainly bacteria. If left untreated, teeth will be able to get periodontitis:
Plaque on the teeth when eating starch and sugar interact with bacteria in the oral cavity. Brushing your teeth twice a day and denting every day will remove plaque, but these plaque will form quickly.
Plaque can harden under the border of the gums and will become tartar for a long time. Tartar will be harder to remove rather than plaque and it is also filled with bacteria. The more plaque and tartar on the teeth, the more damage. We cannot remove tartar by brushing and using dentistry but need to go to the dentist to remove it.
Plaque can cause gingivitis, the mildest form of periodontal disease. Gingivitis is an irritated gum condition and a part of the gums around the root. Gingivitis can be completely treated when treated properly and good dental care at home.
The gingivitis can cause periodontitis, finally, the periodontal bags grow between the gums and your teeth are filled with plaque, tartar and bacteria. Over time, these bags become deeper, containing more bacteria. If left untreated, these deep infections cause gum tissue and bone tissue, and eventually the patient may lose one or more teeth. In addition, continuous chronic inflammation can cause tension, weakening the immune system of the patient.
Symptoms of Cycle's disease
Healthy gums are pink, hard and fit around the teeth. Symptoms of periodontal disease may include:
swollen gums
Gums are bright red, dark red
Gums are easy to bleed
Gums do not tighten teeth, making teeth look longer than usual
There is a new gap between teeth and gums
Pus between teeth and gums
bad breath
Solo teeth
Pain when chewing
Patients choose the painless side to chew food
There are several different types of periodontitis . Common types include the following types:
Chronic periodontitis is the most common type, affecting most adults, although children may also be affected. This type is caused by plaque accumulation, over time causing the destruction of gums and bones, will eventually lose tooth if not treated.
Periodontitis usually starts in childhood or the first time of adulthood. This disease tends to follow the family leading to rapid bone loss and tooth loss if not treated.
Did the necrotic periodontal disease is characterized by the dead gum tissue, teeth and bone ligament support due to lack of blood supply leading to necrosis and severe infections. This type usually occurs in people with inhibited immune systems such as HIV infection, cancer treatment or other causes and malnutrition.
Complications of periodontal disease
Periodontal disease can cause tooth loss. And some studies have shown that periodontitis bacteria can penetrate the patient's blood through the gum tissue, leading to the impact on the heart, lungs and other parts of the body. For example, periodontitis may be associated with respiratory disease, rheumatoid arthritis, coronary artery disease or stroke.
Transmission route of Cycle's diseaseCycle
Periodontal disease is not transmitted from infected people to healthy people.
People at risk for Cycle's disease
The factors that can increase the risk of periodontal disease include:
Gingivitis
Perform poor dental care
Smoking or chewing tobacco
The older it is
Hormonal changes such as pregnancy or menopause
Addictive abuse
obesity
Inadequate nutrition, including vitamin C deficiency
Genetics according to family
Some drugs that cause dry mouth or affect the gums
Conditions that reduce the immune system such as leukemia, HIV/AIDS and cancer treatment
Some other diseases such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn disease
Prevention of Cycle's disease
The best way to prevent periodontal disease is to follow oral hygiene so start early and practice consistently throughout your life.
Good oral hygiene. That means brushing your teeth for two minutes at least twice a day in the morning and before going to bed, using floss at least once a day. Using dentistry before brushing your teeth will clean food and bacteria.
regular dental examination. Meet dentists or oral hygiene, take plaque/tartar at least every 6 to 12 months. If there are risk factors that increase the possibility of periodontitis such as dry mouth, taking some drugs or smoking, for these subjects are often advised to go for oral examination and oral hygiene more often by Dental doctor.
Diagnostic measures for Cycle's disease
To determine whether the patient has periodontitis or not and the severity of the disease, the dentist will do the following:
Ask about a history of disease or factors that can contribute to appearing or worse in symptoms such as smoking or some drugs that cause dry mouth.
Check the mouth to search for plaque and tartar accumulating and evaluate whether it is easy to bleed.
Measure periodontal pocket depth between the groove of the gums and the teeth by placing a dental probe next to the teeth and below the border of the gum. If the gums are healthy, the depth of the bag is usually in the range of 1 to 3 mm. If the bag is more than 4 mm deep may indicate periodontitis and if more than 6 mm deep, it cannot be completely cleaned.
Dental X-rays to check bone loss in areas where the dentist has checked the depth of the bag.
Cycle's disease treatments
Treatment can be performed by dentist, dentist or dental hygiene staff. The goal of periodontal treatment is to thoroughly clean the bags around the teeth and prevent damage to the surrounding bones. Patients have the opportunity to successfully treat well when applying good dental care and stop use of cigarettes.
Non -surgical treatment. If periodontitis does not progress, treatment may include less invasive procedures such as:
Shave lime to remove tartar and bacteria from the surface of the tooth and under the gum. It can be done by tools, lasers or ultrasonic devices.
Root planing (root planing) smoothing the surface of the root, preventing the accumulation of tartar and bacteria and removing the by -products of bacteria, contributing to inflammation/maintenance postponed healing or re -attaching gums to the tooth surface.
Antibiotics. Antibiotics on the spot or oral can help control infections. In -spot antibiotics may include antibiotic mouthwash or gel -containing antibiotics in the gap between the teeth and the gums or in the pocket after deep cleaning. However, oral antibiotics may be necessary to completely eliminate infection bacteria.
Surgical treatment. If periodontitis progresses, the doctor may prescribe treatment with dental surgery such as:
Flap surgery. Periodontal doctor performs small incision in the gums, revealing the root to have a wide range to perform higher lime and tooth cells more effectively.
Filled connective tissue transplant. When the patient has lost the gum tissue, the border of the gums will be indented down, so the patient needs another tissue to replace the teeth to be firm. This is usually done by taking a small amount of tissue from the palate or elsewhere and attaching it to the losing position. This can help reduce gums even further, cover the root exposed and increase the aesthetics of the patient's teeth.
Bone grafting. This method is done when periodontitis has destroyed the bones around the root. The piece is taken from the small bone pieces of the patient or synthetic or donated bone. Bone graft helps prevent tooth loss by holding a fixed teeth, creating a bone foundation for reconstructed bones.
tissue stimulating protein. Another technique involves the use of a special gel applied to the disease. This gel contains similar proteins found in enamel development and bone and tissue stimulation.
