Periodontal disease

Short characteristic of a disease

Симптомы пародонтита

To start several words that it пародонт. If to speak simply is fabrics which "hold" tooth, in particular: gum, bone, ligaments and mucous membrane. The disease a periodontal disease is diagnosed when the infection somehow gets to an oral cavity and begins to destroy a fang ligament with a bone that involves gradual necrosis of fabrics, and further and loss of tooth. Specialists of WHO claim that separate symptoms of a periodontal disease are available for 80% of adult population of Earth. Wide circulation of a periodontal disease is caused by a number of factors, main of which – lack of care of beauty and health of the teeth and the address to the stomatologist only when inflammatory process leads to irreversible effects!

Periodontal disease reasons

Day and night live in a mouth of each person and hundreds of thousands of bacteria die. Products of their life activity accumulate on teeth in the form of a plaque. When toothbrushing this plaque is removed, but again is formed in several hours. Within 2-3 days it hardens and is transformed to a dental calculus. It is possible to get rid of it only by means of professional cleaning in dental clinic as both the brush, and a dental floss in this case will be powerless. In most cases in the absence of elementary hygiene of an oral cavity at the person the periodontal disease which symptoms have an effect practically on any age begins to develop.

At first the plaque on teeth causes small irritation of gums and an ulitis, but then the proceeding inflammation leads to formation of "pockets" - empty space between teeth and gums which is filled with bacteria and the remains of food. As the result started, chronic пародонтин leads to a caries and loss of tooth.

Except a dental calculus the periodontal disease is caused also by some other reasons:

  • smoking, tobacco chewing – nicotine lowers immunity, creates a favorable environment for reproduction of bacteria, worsens process of healing of the destroyed fabrics of a parodont;
  • bad heredity – when the periodontal disease is connected with genetic predisposition of the person to this disease – toothbrushing and respect for hygiene of an oral cavity will be almost inefficient;
  • medicines – it is known that antidepressants, drugs for cold and some other groups of drugs contain the substances reducing production of saliva. However it performs the important disinfecting function, and, respectively, at reduction of quantity of a secret – intensity of formation of a dental plaque increases;
  • the diabetes mellitus and some other diseases can also cause a periodontal disease (treatment at such succession of events means obligatory disposal of the disease prime cause as without strengthening of immune system further actions do not make sense);
  • bad food – if the products rich with calcium, and also vitamins B do not enter a standard diet of the person and With, then the risk of development of a periodontal disease increases several times.

Periodontal disease – disease symptoms

Can divide all inflammations of a parodont on acute and chronic. The acute (generalized) periodontal disease has the following symptoms:

  • pulsation in gingivas;
  • constant itch;
  • mobility of teeth;
  • unpleasant smell from a mouth;
  • discomfort at a food chewing;
  • hypersensitivity of a neck of teeth.

Over time gingivas become even more painful, swell, plentifully bleed when toothbrushing. Besides, the generalized periodontal disease has an effect during meals when leftovers get stuck in "pockets", begin to decay and cause multiple irritations of fabrics of a parodont. At some patients the acute form promotes fervescence and emergence of the general weakness.

The chronic periodontal disease develops at an undertreated acute form. The same symptoms are characteristic of it, but the disease proceeds much more intensively. Pain happens so strong that the person is forced to refuse toothbrushing. Thereby it aggravates the course of a disease. Also chronic periodontal disease is characterized by the discoloration of gums, emergence of odontoschisms complicated by chewing and loss of separate teeth. Depth of "pockets" quite often exceeds 5-7 mm. During the periods of an aggravation of inflammatory process of people feels low, a sharp throbbing pain, an indisposition. Emergence of symptoms of heart failure and release of pus on affected areas of fabrics is possible.

Periodontal disease – treatment of a disease

The dentist has to plan a complex of medical actions. It means that at the diagnosis a periodontal disease treatment by folk remedies is additional method of controlling with a disease, but not replacement of surgical and therapeutic methods in any way.

If the periodontal disease was found at an early stage of development, then the course of treatment consists in professional toothbrushing, removal of a dental calculus and polish of a surface of tooth. The crown and a root are processed by special brushes which are processed by fluorinated protective structures. The hardened tooth deposits are removed by means of machining or ultrasound. In especially started cases doctors use a curettage – the procedure of removal of deposits by means of special hooks.

Лечение пародонтита

If depth of tooth "pockets" exceeds 5 mm – surgical intervention is recommended to patients. The main goal of operation – to eliminate cavities, to stop a rassasyvaniye of fabrics and to do everything possible in order that tooth found stability. Elimination of pathological mobility is made by means of temporary tires or constant prostheses.

As both the generalized periodontal disease, and a chronic periodontal disease are among infectious and inflammatory diseases, specialists usually appoint patients effective antibiotics. Preference is given to tetracycline or lincomycin. Besides, patients have to take care of strengthening of immune system and increase in protective forces of an organism. Both widespread vitamin and mineral complexes, and special means – immunoproofreaders are for this purpose applied. Certainly, treatment of a periodontal disease does not do without timely sealing of painful teeth, correction of a bite and correction of other local risk factors.
