Periodontal disease

Parodontosis is a systemic lesion of periodontal disease in the form of progressive atrophy of alveolar processes.

Etiology, pathogenesis are associated with the disorder of local circulation, endocrine disorders. Development is promoted by diabetes, cirrhosis, stomach ulcer and other diseases.

Symptoms, course. In the initial period, a feeling of insecurity when chewing, itching in the gums. Sensation of mobility of teeth, unpleasant odor in the mouth, distortion of taste. Teeth are intact. As the process develops, food stuck in the interdental spaces, exposure of the neck of the teeth, wedge-shaped defects on the teeth, often hyperesthesia of the exposed neck of the teeth may form. Radiographically, a decrease in the height of the interdental septum without signs of osteoporosis and inflammatory destruction. For early detection, laboratory and functional (rheography) studies are needed. With active flow - a relatively early loss of the tooth all teeth. In the stabilization phase, the process may not progress for decades. However, there may be inflammatory resorption of the wells of individual teeth, associated with complications of an inflammatory nature.

Treatment complex, individualized, determined by the features of the course of the disease, the nature of complications and the general state of the body. Measures to improve local blood circulation (darsonvalization, vacuum massage, hydro- and automassage, etc.). Removal of supra- and subgingival dental deposits. To eliminate pathological occlusion, orthopedic measures are applied - prislifovyvanie bugrov crowns of teeth, dental prosthetics. Assign vitamins C and group B, sex hormones, drugs that have anabolic (pentoxyl, nerobol, methyluracil, etc.) action. Diet, spa and psychotherapy. Dispensary observation.

The prognosis with stabilized flow is favorable, with active flow leads to early loss of teeth. Prevention: periodic removal of tartar and systematic dental care. Nutrition, complete in composition and consistency.
