Periodontal Gap

Periodontal gaps are one of the most common problems in dentistry. They can occur for a variety of reasons, including dental trauma, malocclusion, or improper use of a toothbrush or floss.

Periodontal clefts create space between the lamina compacta (the bone tissue surrounding the tooth root) and the cementum of the root. This can lead to various problems such as caries, pulpitis, periodontitis and even tooth loss.

Various methods are used to treat periodontal gaps, such as professional teeth cleaning, root canal filling, tartar removal, etc. However, the most effective treatment method is surgery, which involves removing part of the bone tissue and filling the resulting space with synthetic material.

In addition, to prevent the occurrence of periodontal gaps, it is necessary to maintain oral hygiene, use a toothbrush and floss correctly, and regularly visit the dentist for preventive examinations.

The periodontal apparatus includes tissues preceding the tooth. These tissues include the gum epithelium, associated connective tissue, interdental septa, blood
