A periododon is a tooth root covered with bone tissue. The tissues of the periosteum (periosteum) and papillae of the tooth form the root canal. The canal contains the pulp (nerve) and periodontal ligament. Pathological processes in the periosteal tissue and root canal form a dental granuloma (this is pathological tissue). Next, very different processes develop: root cysts (the bottom of the cyst is located in the periapical tissues).
Periodontitis is an inflammation of periodontal tissue. This disease is characterized by: bleeding (severe bleeding when pressed) and the presence of sensitivity when exposed to different types of irritants (cold, hot). The teeth are painful only when pressing on the sides of the teeth; there is no pain when biting. The teeth do not yet react even to very soft food. The tooth is moderately mobile.
Periodontitis is chronically slow. It is characterized by symptoms expressed to varying degrees over several years. These are: hyperemia (redness) of the gingival papillae, the formation of abundant dental plaque, changes in the appearance of the teeth, the appearance of small ulcers, ulceration of the interdental papillae. The diagnosis is made after an X-ray examination. This study makes it possible to identify lesions of the periodontal ligament.
Treatment of periodontitis is carried out only surgically. It is carried out immediately after diagnosis. Immediate treatment is carried out if there is an exacerbation of the purulent process in the gum area. These procedures are rarely used if the chronic process has existed for a long time (up to 9–14 years). The tooth has to be removed.
The effectiveness of treatment depends on the stage of granuloma formation. Treatment begins when a developed granuloma is detected. During the procedure, the blood clot that has accumulated inside the dental cavity is actively washed out. The purulent fluid is removed using a syringe. The resulting granulation tissue is removed with tampons, and the gingival papilla is also removed. Procedure
