Periodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases and conditions that affect the gums, teeth and the surrounding supporting structures (bone, ligaments, and tooth-supporting fibers). Periodontal diseases include gingivitis and periodontitis.
Periodontists are dental specialists who have completed additional education and training in periodontics beyond dental school. They use advanced technology and techniques, such as digital imaging and laser therapy, to diagnose and treat periodontal diseases and to help patients maintain healthy gums and teeth.
You should visit a periodontist if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:
Red, swollen, or bleeding gums: These are signs of gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease.
Receding gums: When the gums pull away from the teeth, exposing more of the tooth, it is called gum recession. This can be caused by periodontal disease or other factors.
Loose teeth: Periodontal disease can cause the bones and tissues that support the teeth to deteriorate, making the teeth loose.
Persistent bad breath: Chronic bad breath can be a sign of periodontal disease or other oral health issues.
Pus around the teeth and gums: This is a sign of an infection, which is often caused by periodontal disease.
Changes in the way your teeth fit together when you bite: Periodontal disease can cause the bones and tissues that support the teeth to deteriorate, which can change the way the teeth fit together when you bite.

It is also important to note that it is important to visit a periodontist as part of your regular dental check-ups, even if you are not experiencing any symptoms. A periodontist can detect and treat any issues early on before they become more serious.
Periodontal diseases are a group of conditions that affect the gums, teeth and the surrounding supporting structures (bone, ligaments, and tooth-supporting fibers). Some of the most common periodontal diseases include:
This is a mild form of gum disease that causes inflammation and bleeding of the gums. It is caused by the buildup of plaque and tartar on the teeth, which can be prevented with good oral hygiene.
This is a more severe form of gum disease that occurs when gingivitis is left untreated. It causes the gums to pull away from the teeth, creating pockets that become infected. The infection can damage the bone and supporting tissues, and can lead to tooth loss if left untreated.
This is a rare and severe form of periodontitis that occurs in people who are otherwise healthy, and it progresses rapidly.
This is the most common form of periodontitis, it progresses slowly and affects the majority of people who have gum disease.
This is a group of rare and severe gum infections that primarily affect people with weakened immune systems, such as individuals who are HIV-positive or have other immune deficiencies.
Dental abscesses are localized bacterial infections within the periodontium, which can be acute or chronic, and can be caused by different factors.
Some systemic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory disease have been linked to an increased risk of periodontal disease.
It is important to note that periodontal diseases can have serious consequences if left untreated, including tooth loss, and may also affect overall health, so early diagnosis and treatment is important.
Periodontists perform a variety of procedures to diagnose, treat, and prevent periodontal diseases. Some of the most common procedures include:
Scaling and root planning: This is a deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line, and smooths the root surfaces to help the gums reattach to the teeth.
Pocket reduction surgery: This procedure involves removing infected tissue and smoothing the roots of the teeth to reduce the depth of the pockets and help the gums reattach to the teeth.
Bone and tissue grafts: This procedure is used to replace bone and tissue that has been destroyed by periodontal disease. The grafts can be taken from the patient or from a tissue bank.
Soft tissue grafts: This procedure is used to cover exposed roots and to thicken thin gums.
Guided tissue regeneration: This procedure uses a membrane or special material to protect the bone and tissue while it regenerates.
Dental implant placement: Periodontists may place dental implants, which are artificial tooth roots that are placed into the jaw to support a replacement tooth or bridge.
Crown lengthening: This procedure is used to expose a greater amount of tooth structure for the placement of a restoration, such as a crown or bridge.
Sinus lifts: This procedure is used to add bone to the upper jaw in the back of the mouth, where the sinus cavities are located.
Ridge augmentation: This procedure is used to build up a ridge of bone in the jaw where there is not enough bone to support dental implants.
It is important to note that the type of procedure will be recommended by the periodontist based on the specific case, the stage of the disease, and the patient’s overall health and dental goals.
SSS
Diş çürümesi veya diş eti hastalığı nedeniyle tek bir kalıcı diş veya birden fazla diş kaybedildiğinde, diş implantları artık 3. sabit diş seti olarak bunların yerini alabilir! Dental implantlar ömür boyu dayanabilir ve görünüşünüzü, kendinize olan güveninizi ve sevdiğiniz yiyecekleri yeme ve dişleriniz hakkında endişelenmeden aktif bir yaşam tarzına katılma yeteneğinizi geliştirebilir. Dental implantlar titanyumdan yapılmıştır ve asla diş çürümesi yapmaz!
Her küçük oral cerrahi prosedürde olduğu gibi enfeksiyon, iltihaplanma ve ağrı riski vardır, ancak protez uzmanınız bunların sizin özel durumunuz için nasıl yönetilebileceğini tartışacaktır. İmplantı yerleştirmek için mevcut kemik yoksa, tedavinizin maliyetini artırabilecek kemik ve diş eti grefti prosedürleri gerekebilir. Bununla birlikte, ön yatırım uzun vadede karşılığını verebilir.
Genel olarak, tek bir dişin dental implant ile değiştirilmesinin maliyeti, normal bir sabit köprü ile değiştirilmesiyle neredeyse aynıdır. Diş implantlarının maliyeti hastanın ihtiyaçlarına, kemik miktarına ve bölgeye göre değişecektir. Bir protez uzmanı, benzersiz ihtiyaçlarınıza göre bir değerlendirme yapacaktır.
Bu oran bireyden bireye, sağlık ve alışkanlıklara göre değişir. Ağız hijyeni ve sağlığı iyi olan sağlıklı bir birey için diş implantları, yüzde 90-95'in üzerinde bildirilen başarı oranlarıyla tahmin edilebileceği gibi başarılıdır.
Doğal dişlerin aksine, dental implantlar çürük gibi diş hastalıklarına karşı hassas değildir; ancak, diş etlerinin sağlığı kalıcı implant başarısını sürdürmek için hayati önem taşır. Hastanın bilinçli ev bakımı ve düzenli profesyonel temizlik ve kontroller, dental implantın sürdürülebilirliği için temel unsurlardır. Her hasta farklıdır ve başarı teşhis ve planlamaya, tıbbi geçmişe ve çeşitli diğer faktörlere bağlıdır.
