Fixed teeth for a lifetime!

​

In periodontics we deal with that

Teeth holding apparatus (paro = um, dont = tooth). Target in

modern periodontics is prevention and

Early detection of periodontal, i.e. the dental

holding apparatus related diseases. The periodontal disease is

a complex, multi-causal inflammatory disease.  

Periodontitis therapy is becoming increasingly important in dentistry, as it seems to have a negative impact on general diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, atherosclerosis and rheumatoid diseases in various ways.  

However, nowadays damage to the tooth-supporting apparatus does not represent a hopeless situation for the patient. There are situations in which even large-area bone defects (loose teeth) can be treated by regenerative measures and thus tooth preservation is possible.

Periodontal disease has many causes. The risk factors include:

​

• stress

• smoking

• Taking medication

• Genetic predisposition

​

After carefully collecting and evaluating all findings, the finely coordinated therapeutic steps can be developed together with the patient according to the severity of the disease. Here, patient cooperation is a decisive factor for the success of the treatment.
