Periodontitis treatment in Brescia
Periodontology to maintain healthy teeth and gums
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the supporting tissues of the tooth: gingiva, periodontal ligament and bone. If neglected, it can lead to tooth loss and compromise the well-being of the entire organism. For this reason, in our dental practice in Brescia, the periodontology is an area of extreme importance, followed directly by Dr Irina Garaeva with competence, attention and a personalised approach.
Symptoms of periodontitis: when to worry
I symptoms of periodontitis often manifest themselves in a subtle way: bleeding gums, persistent halitosis, sensitivity to cold, receding gums or teeth that seem longer are signs that should not be underestimated. In more advanced stages, teeth may begin to shift, become mobile or fall out.
Even the absence of pain should not reassure: periodontitis can progress silently. This is why it is essential carry out regular checks and rely on a periodontology specialist who can identify the signs of disease early and intervene to keep the mouth healthy.
Diagnosis of periodontitis: specific examinations for targeted therapy
Treating periodontitis is not just a matter of “cleaning teeth”, but of getting to the root of the causes with a treatment plan built custom-made. Each treatment is designed on the basis of a precise and thorough diagnosis, with the aim of stopping infection, regenerating tissue, preserving teeth and maintaining a healthy, functional mouth over time.
La first periodontal examination, at our practice in Brescia, is extremely detailed. It involves performing the periodontal survey, i.e. measuring the depth of the gingival pockets and assessing key indices such as plaque, bleeding, tooth mobility and attachment loss.
A complete periodontal chart, supplemented by intraoral photographs, endoral and panoramic X-rays, and when necessary also salivary and genetic testing to assess the patient's inflammatory profile. In some cases, biotic inoculation from the tongue is also performed to guide the choice of the most effective antimicrobial therapy.
FEAR OF THE DENTIST?
RELAX: WE HAVE CONSCIOUS SEDATION
Conscious sedation is a completely painless and absolutely safe technique that helps the patient relax during the session, without ever losing lucidity. It can be adopted for any dental procedure, more or less invasive, to treat phobic or anxious patients or those who have to undergo long and complex treatments.
Tailor-made pathways to periodontal health
The treatment of periodontitis in Dr. Garaeva's practice is never standardised. Each patient receives a customised care plan, which takes into account his clinical condition, habits, age and expectations. After the active phase of treatment, a maintenance protocol with regular recalls and periodic checks, which are essential to prevent recurrences.
Causal therapy: the first step to stopping periodontitis
Causal therapy is the most important phase in the treatment of periodontitis. The goal is to remove the factors that caused the inflammation: bacterial plaque and tartar, even deep below the gumline. This phase includes sessions of targeted professional hygiene, performed with hand and ultrasound instruments, possibly combined with the use of the diode laser, which allows periodontal pockets to be decontaminated effectively and minimally invasively.
The treatment is often divided into quadrants, so that they can concentrate on small areas at a time with great precision. In parallel, the patient is instructed to a proper home hygiene, with specific indications on the most suitable toothbrushes, brushes, toothpastes and mouthwashes.
The role of lasers in the treatment of periodontitis
For periodontitis patients, we also use the diode laser as support for causal therapy. This tool allows eliminate bacteria present in the gingival pockets selectively and without damaging healthy tissue. The laser is also useful for reduce inflammation and stimulate regeneration gingival, improving post-treatment comfort and shortening healing time.
Periodontal surgery: only when needed
In cases where causal therapy is not sufficient, surgical treatment may be considered. The approach is always conservative and is only proposed in the presence of specific indications. Dr Garaeva personally performs periodontal surgery, which is carefully planned on the basis of the diagnostic documentation and the patient's individual condition to ensure maximum results with minimum impact.
Resective surgery
This type of surgery is performed when deep periodontal pockets are present and do not respond to causal therapy. The objective is to reshape the bone and gum profile, removing inflamed tissue and making the root surfaces more accessible for proper hygiene. Resective surgery stabilises the disease and maintains healthy teeth over time.
Regenerative surgery
When periodontitis has caused localised bone loss, it is possible to intervene with regenerative techniques that stimulate regrowth of supporting tissues. Biomaterials, membranes or bone grafts are used, chosen according to the type of defect and the patient's condition. Bone regeneration makes it possible to rebuild lost support and improve long-term tooth stability.
Mucogingival surgery
It is indicated to correct aesthetic or functional defects of the gums, such as gingival recession or the presence of excess tissue. Depending on the case, it is possible to cover exposed roots, increase the amount of adherent gingiva or improve the symmetry of the smile. These are delicate procedures that are essential to restore the balance between functionality and aesthetics.
