These are chronic structural changes in periodontal membranes. At this, a pain in a tooth can be noticed when pressed or under the action of temperature stimuli, redness and swelling of gums, tooth loosening, fistula formation.
Special types of treatment of the chronic periodontitis are: non-surgical therapy under the supervision of a dental therapist and a surgical treatment by maxillo-facial surgeons (surgeon dentists).
If there is no possibility to perform a high-quality non-surgical therapy by a dental therapist, surgery will be the main treatment method. Maxillo-facial surgeons always try to perform tooth-preserving surgeries: tooth root resection, hemisection, cystectomy, tooth root end resection. In the worse case scenario, doctors perform a tooth extraction, which is not destiny: nowadays there is a possibility of dental implantation that helps to completely reconstruct the dental arch and preserve the quality of life of a patient.
If necessary, the specialists of our clinic can offer osteoplastics (grafting of the bone tissue in the region where the implant insertion is planned) using a patient’s bone or an artificial bone.
