Periodontology
Healthy Teeth from Root to Enamel
Diseases affecting the supporting structures of the tooth — from the tooth to the bone — are, along with cavities, among the most common oral health problems. Since these tissues are not visible, changes in the oral cavity often occur almost imperceptibly until inflammation and often unbearable pain arise.
Common symptoms of periodontal disease include:
Gums that bleed during brushing or with minimal touch
Sensitive, red, and swollen gums

Receding and lowering of the gums from the teeth
Appearance of pus on the gum margin
Painful chewing, bad breath, and unpleasant taste in the mouth
Loose teeth
Changes in the position of one or more teeth

Painless Prevention and Treatment of Periodontal Diseases at Orto Nova
Periodontology is a branch of dental medicine dealing with the causes, prevention, and treatment of periodontal diseases, which affect up to 80% of the population today. When it comes to diseases such as gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) and periodontitis or periodontal disease (conditions that do not present immediate symptoms), the importance of prevention through regular dental visits and proper oral hygiene cannot be overstated. Orto Nova specializes in the treatment of periodontal diseases.
Gingivitis or Gum Inflammation
Symptoms of gingivitis include bleeding, swelling, and redness of the gums (healthy gums typically have a light orange color). Gingivitis is most often a direct consequence of poor oral hygiene and the buildup of dental plaque — bacterial deposits around the tooth tissue that later harden into tartar.

Untreated gingivitis can develop into periodontitis, which is more complex to treat. For this reason, if you notice any changes in your gums or experience any pain, it is important to consult a dentist promptly.
Gingivitis and periodontitis are serious inflammatory conditions of the oral cavity and, if left untreated, can cause the loss of the supporting structures of the teeth, such as the gums and bone, leading to tooth loss.
Preliminary Periodontal Therapy and Treatment of Periodontitis
Since poor oral hygiene is a primary factor in causing periodontal diseases, preliminary periodontal therapy includes specific guidelines for proper oral hygiene and root planing.
Painless Periodontal Therapy Procedure
Initial Diagnosis and Planning
Periodontal therapy begins with a thorough examination to assess gum health, pocket depths, and tartar presence. X-rays are used to examine bone loss. A personalized treatment plan is created, and instructions for home oral hygiene are provided.
Initial Cleaning
This phase involves the removal of plaque and tartar above and below the gum line (scaling and root planing). To reduce bacterial infection, local antibiotics or antimicrobial agents may be applied, and periodontal pockets can be cleaned with antiseptic solutions.
Evaluation and Corrective Procedures
After a few weeks, the effectiveness of the initial therapy is assessed by checking the reduction of inflammation and the depth of the pockets. If necessary, corrective procedures such as periodontal surgery are performed to regenerate lost bone and tissues.
Care
To maintain the long-term results of periodontal therapy, regular check-ups and proper home oral hygiene are essential. The dentist will provide specific instructions and advice for caring for your gums at home.
