Periodontium is a complex of tissues supporting the teeth: the gums, root cementum, alveoli tissues, and the fibres that connect them to the roots of the teeth. The periodontium is responsible for attaching and supporting the teeth in the bone sockets (alveolus). In addition, it consists of many blood vessels and nerves that are important to the body. Periodontium provides blood circulation to the teeth, allows the chewing load to be evenly distributed throughout the tooth, and protects the teeth from infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div

Therefore, a patient who does not visit for regular preventive dental check-ups runs the risk of not being aware of their disease, or that they may have an increased chance of developing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common periodontal diseases are gingivitis and periodontitis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-tabs uagb-block-aa47edc9 uagb-tabs__wrap uagb-tabs__hstyle5-desktop uagb-tabs__hstyle5-tablet uagb-tabs__hstyle5-mobile centertab macketaps\" data-tab-active=\"0\"><ul class=\"uagb-tabs__panel uagb-tabs__align-left\"><li class=\"uagb-tab uagb-tabs__active\"><a href=\"#uagb-tabs__tab0\" class=\"uagb-tabs-list uagb-tabs__icon-position-left\" data-tab=\"0\"><span>Gingivitis<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"uagb-tab\"><a href=\"#uagb-tabs__tab1\" class=\"uagb-tabs-list uagb-tabs__icon-position-left\" data-tab=\"1\"><span>Periodontitis<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"uagb-tabs__body-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-tabs-child uagb-tabs__body-container uagb-tabs__inner-tab uagb-inner-tab-0\"><div class=\"uagb-blocks__dfabb0f0 uagb-tabs__body\" aria-labelledby=\"uagb-tabs__tab0\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gingivitis\"><\/span>Gingivitis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gingivitis is an initial form of inflammation of the gums that is usually caused by plaque accumulating on top, and under, the gum line. Gingivitis forms include acute (noticeable symptoms) and chronic (asymptomatic, without or with minimal pain). Gingivitis is classified not only by its form but also by its nature:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Catarrhal gingivitis<\/strong> \u2013 causes redness, itching, bleeding during brushing, and slight pain in the gingival area. It is the most common type of gingivitis and is easily treated. However, it can signify the early stages of other periodontal diseases.<\/li><li><strong>Necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis<\/strong> \u2013 is led by formation of ulcers, bad breath, build-up of dark teeth tartar, and dying gum tissues. Is very difficult to treat. Failure to receive timely help can lead to formation of abscesses and necrosis.<\/li><li><strong>Hypertrophic gingivitis<\/strong> \u2013 causes excessive growth of gum tissues covering the roots of the teeth. It can lead to keratinization of the gingival areas.<\/li><li><strong>Atrophic gingivitis<\/strong> \u2013 causes receding gums, exposure of the necks of the teeth, and has a high risk of loss of healthy teeth.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If not diagnosed in time and not treated properly, gingivitis can progress to a more severe form of inflammation called periodontitis.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-tabs-child uagb-tabs__body-container uagb-tabs__inner-tab uagb-inner-tab-1\"><div class=\"uagb-blocks__f68aab6d uagb-tabs__body\" aria-labelledby=\"uagb-tabs__tab1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Periodontitis\"><\/span>Periodontitis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Periodontitis is a chronic inflammation of the tissues surrounding the teeth, which destroys the supporting bone of the tooth. Main symptoms of periodontitis are redness, bleeding of the gums, bad breath, gum pain, as well as deep periodontal pockets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without proper treatment, developing periodontitis damages periodontal ligaments, gums, cementum, and the alveolar bone. Eventually, the gums begin to gradually detach from the teeth, the bone mass shrinks and the periodontal pockets deepen. As a result, the tooth does not hold firmly and begins to move. In the later stages of the disease, the tissues holding the tooth are irreversibly damaged and the tooth is lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The symptoms of periodontitis depend on the nature and form of the disease:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Localised<\/strong> \u2013 inflammation occurs in a small and contained area of \u200b\u200bthe gums, with the remaining periodontal tissues being unaffected by the disease. Usually, this type of periodontitis develops if the gum tissue is being regularly damaged in one place. In most cases, it is sufficient to just prevent further damage to the area, by removing the factor causing damage..<\/li><li><strong>Generalized<\/strong> \u2013 inflammation of all the gums in one or both jaws. The most common form of the disease.<\/li><li><strong>Acute<\/strong> \u2013 severe gum pain, swelling and bleeding. Occasionally gum abscesses may form.<\/li><li><strong>Chronic<\/strong> \u2013 long-term inflammation of the gums, causing acute exacerbation, swelling and pain. Teeth become unstable over time.<\/li><li><strong>Purulent<\/strong> \u2013 painful inflammation of the gums, accompanied by the formation of purulent wounds. Abscesses of the gums or jaw may form without proper treatment.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Aggressive periodontitis is a rare subset of the disease that requires special treatment. They develop rapidly because they are often caused by dangerous pathogenic bacteria:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Rapidly progressive periodontitis<\/strong> \u2013 occurs in patients aged 15-35 years. Involves risks of loss of bone tissue from almost all teeth.<\/li><li><strong>Necrotizing ulcerative periodontitis<\/strong> \u2013 usually develops as a result of untreated necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis. The disease has cyclic activity, rapidly destroys periodontal tissue, and causes the formation of interdental cavities.<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group mackbox mackboxP\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<p>Highly qualified periodontists working in our clinics treat all types of gum diseases.

Sometimes, a closed gum curettage may also be performed &#8211; a periodontal procedure that includes deep cleaning of the tooth pockets from dental plaque. Depending on the clinical situation, the procedure can be performed in a minimally invasive manner or by making an incision in the gingival mucosa. Cleaning is performed using special periodontal instruments, ultrasound devices, and a specialised laser.

Recession is a noticeable cosmetic defect that can lead to serious dental problems and even tooth loss. Gum recession can be prevented by proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a variety of modern treatment methods for gum recession, the most appropriate of which is determined by the periodontist, based on the condition of the patient&#8217;s gums. In severe cases of gum recession, surgical treatment is performed and the recession is covered manually. Surgical recession coverage is a form of plastic surgery, during which the solid tartar deposits are cleaned and the areas affected by recession are covered by transplanting tissues from the patient\u2019s healthy gums. The operation is safe and performed under local anaesthesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gum_flap_surgery\"><\/span><strong>Gum flap surgery<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;Periodontal pockets&#8217; develop in patients with periodontitis. These pockets accumulate pathogenic bacteria that damage the bone and tissues around the tooth\u2019s root. Failure to diagnose this in time, and delaying a visit to a dental clinic, can lead to generalized periodontitis (inflammation of the entire periodontium). Periodontitis may cause irreversible damage to the cementum, periodontal ligament and the alveolar bone surrounding the teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gum flap surgery may be performed when the conservative treatment methods are not sufficient, severe inflammation is observed, and the periodontal pockets become deepened. Gum flap surgery is one of the most effective surgical methods used to treat periodontitis. During the operation, the gums are surgically uncovered, the periodontal pockets are manually cleaned and disinfected, and the supporting tissues lost during the disease are restored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vestibuloplasty\"><\/span><strong>Vestibuloplasty<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Vestibuloplasty is a periodontal surgery designed to remove excess gum tissue and restore the gums to their anatomically correct shape. This operation is performed for aesthetic purposes and before dental implantation, when the implantation site is prepared. In the latter case, the gums are formed in such a way as to support the dental implant and to ensure its stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several methods for performing vestibuloplasty, each of which has specific indications. The periodontist chooses the most optimal technique after examining and evaluating the condition of the patient&#8217;s gums.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group mackbox mackboxP\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<p>Treatment of complex periodontitis may require procedures from other specialities of dentistry (orthodontics, dental surgery, therapeutic procedures, etc.). The specific treatment methods for periodontitis are determined individually, after consultation with a periodontist. Treatment also highly depends on the severity of the inflammatory process and the condition of the patient&#8217;s oral mucosa and teeth. Dentists working in our clinics always strive to ensure a minimally invasive periodontal treatment, preserving as much natural healthy tissue as possible. Surgical treatment is only used when conservative treatment is not enough to treat the disease.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_dangerous_is_periodontitis\"><\/span><strong>How dangerous is periodontitis?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The development of periodontitis takes a long time and is sometimes asymptomatic. If not diagnosed in time, it can progress to a chronic stage, which can lead to the loss of healthy teeth. In addition, later stages of periodontitis can complicate eating, cause bite defects, damage the smile\u2019s aesthetics, and alter diction. The spread of the infection to the surrounding tissues can also cause various inflammatory diseases. These include disrupting the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, endocrine, and cardiovascular system. Gum diseases also weaken and negatively impact the general condition of the body and the patient\u2019s well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, it is very important to book regular dental check-ups. In the event of periodontitis, this ensures its early diagnosis and will be much faster, simpler, and cheaper to treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_main_symptoms_of_periodontitis\"><\/span><strong>What are the main symptoms of periodontitis?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Among the most common symptoms of periodontitis are:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Redness and bleeding of the gums.<\/li><li>Large deposits of hard and soft dental plaque.<\/li><li>Deepened periodontal pockets.<\/li><li>Dental bone atrophy.<\/li><li>Exposure of tooth roots.<\/li><li>Formation of abscesses.<\/li><li>Instability of the teeth.<\/li><li>Gum swelling and pain.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_periodontal_treatment_painful\"><\/span><strong>Is periodontal treatment painful?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"328\" src=\"https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pirmine-konsultacija-min-e1739455331144-1024x328.jpg\" alt=\"woman getting professional dental help\" class=\"wp-image-2398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pirmine-konsultacija-min-e1739455331144-1024x328.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pirmine-konsultacija-min-e1739455331144-300x96.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pirmine-konsultacija-min-e1739455331144-768x246.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pirmine-konsultacija-min-e1739455331144-1536x491.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pirmine-konsultacija-min-e1739455331144-1200x384.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pirmine-konsultacija-min-e1739455331144-1980x633.jpg 1980w, https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pirmine-konsultacija-min-e1739455331144-18x6.jpg 18w, https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pirmine-konsultacija-min-e1739455331144.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no reason to worry about the discomfort during the treatment.
