Periodontopathy: causes, symptoms and treatment

Periodontopathy is a group of diseases of the periodontium, the tissues that surround the teeth and support them in position. Periodontal disease can lead to periodontal destruction, which can lead to tooth loss.

Causes of periodontal disease may include genetic factors, smoking, poor oral hygiene, diseases that affect the immune system such as diabetes, and changes in hormonal balance that can occur during pregnancy or menopause.

Symptoms of periodontal disease may include bleeding gums, separation of the gums from the teeth, gaps between teeth and gums, ragged gums, increasing chipping of teeth, bad breath, and severe tooth pain.

Treatment for periodontal disease may include treating causes of the disease, such as smoking and poor oral hygiene. It may also be necessary to remove plaque and bacteria that may have accumulated on the teeth and gums. In more severe cases, surgery may be required to restore periodontal health.

To prevent periodontal disease, good oral hygiene, including regular brushing and flossing, is recommended. It is also important to avoid smoking and monitor your overall health, including monitoring your blood sugar levels if you have diabetes.

In conclusion, periodontopathy is a serious disease that can lead to tooth loss. Seeing your dentist early and maintaining good oral hygiene can help prevent or treat this problem.

Periodontopathies are various diseases of periodontal tissue associated with inflammation. Periodontium is a complex of tissues surrounding the tooth on all sides. It consists of the bone tissue of the alveoli, gums, gum-fixing cement and the neck of the tooth. The periodontal cavity contains the fibers of the ligaments that attach the tooth to the alveolus and the apical blood vessel. Paradentopathological changes in periodontal diseases in most cases lead to either resorption of the alveolar bone or its premature deformation due to prolonged stress of the surrounding tissues
