Prevention and Professional Dental Cleaningg
Periodontitis is an inflammatory change in the periodontal apparatus, where all associated diseases and symptoms weaken the immune system and particularly cellular defense. For the treatment and prevention of periodontal diseases, primarily non-surgical periodontal therapy is used, such as regular and thorough cleaning of the teeth (professional dental cleaning - PDC) and the interdental spaces. It should be noted that supragingival cleaning alone is not sufficient as a sole periodontal therapy. Only subgingival instrumentation (curettage) brings about a fundamental change in the microbial flora. Special attention is paid to the efficiency of plaque removal. If live bacteria remain in the pockets, reinfection occurs rapidly.
The goal of non-surgical periodontal therapy is the reduction of pockets (probing depths) and signs of inflammation (bleeding). Prevention, non-surgical pocket therapy, and accompanying measures serve as the initial steps in the prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases.
