Pyorrhea

Pyorrhea or pyodontomy is an outdated term that was previously used to refer to periodontal diseases. Currently, this concept is not used in modern dentistry.

Pyodontomy means that purulent exudate forms in the tissues around the tooth, which can lead to the development of inflammation and destruction of bone tissue. However, modern dentistry offers more accurate and effective diagnostic and treatment methods.

One of the most common diagnostic methods is an x-ray of the teeth, which allows us to identify the presence or absence of caries, pulpitis, periodontitis and other diseases. In addition, there are special computer programs for diagnostics that allow you to determine the degree of destruction of bone tissue and choose the most effective treatment method.

Among the most effective methods of treating pyorrhea is surgical intervention, which allows you to remove purulent exudate and restore the integrity of bone tissue. Laser technologies are also used to promote rapid healing and tissue restoration.

It is important to note that timely visit to the dentist and diagnosis and treatment can prevent the development of serious complications, such as tooth loss and the spread of infection to other organs and systems of the body. Therefore, you should not put off visiting the dentist until later, because dental health is the key to the health of the whole body as a whole.

Concepts - **Periodontitis** - inflammation of the tissues surrounding the root of the tooth. This disease is characterized by the formation of bundles of infection at the apexes of the roots of the teeth and next to them in the bone tissues of the alveolar process of the jaw, between the teeth, etc. As a result of their formation, the gums become swollen, painful, and the infection spreads to the toothbrush. Treatment for this disease involves complete or partial amputation of teeth. - **Deformation of bone tissue** - this condition occurs due to various reasons, including infectious diseases, as well as inflammatory diseases. Inflammation leads to the fact that the bone tissue begins to deteriorate, lose its strength, and the dentofacial joints experience greater
