What is Periodontitis?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This is\u00a0 an inflammatory disease that causes damage to the root part of the tooth, the bone surrounding the tooth root and the connective tissue between these 2 tissues.<\/p>\n

We can say that very advanced Gingivitist disease.\u00a0When it reached a level that would disturb more patients, the disease continued its existence for a long time and unfortunately caused advanced injuries.<\/p>\n

If the disease is advanced, abscess formation can be seen in the gingiva.\u00a0Patients mostly consider this situation as an inflammatory condition caused by the tooth, and go to the dentist with pain.<\/p>\n

There are 2 types of periodontitis<\/a>.\u00a0These;\u00a0It is chronic\u00a0periodontitis and aggressive periodontitis\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Chronic Periodontitis<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is\u00a0 the\u00a0 most common type of periodontitis. It usually appears at the age of 35 and over. It progresses very slowly, the symptoms are late and barely noticeable .<\/p>\n

For this reason, sometimes it may be late in treatment. Respectively, the gingiva, the fibers that connect the gum to the tooth and the tooth root to the tooth bone and the tooth bone melt and the pocket is formed.<\/p>\n

It causes a decrease in bone support of the tooth.Symptoms can be listed as\u00a0dark red, purplish gum color, gingival recession \/ enlargement, tooth spacing, elongation, rotation, shaking, dysfunction, filling of food residues between the teeth and into the pockets, abscess formation, bad breath, aesthetic disorder.<\/p>\n

While initial and moderate chronic periodontitis<\/a> is treated with non-surgical methods, advanced\u00a0chronic periodontitis is treated with additional surgical methods.<\/p>\n

Aggressive <\/strong>Periodontitis<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It is a less common but more severe type of periodontitis that affects young people.\u00a0This condition can also be hereditary.\u00a0Individuals are systemically healthy.\u00a0There are 2 types, local and common.\u00a0In the local type, the clinical signs associated with the gums are few, but the depth of the pocket and bone destruction is\u00a0advanced.\u00a0In the common type, both clinical symptoms are noticeable and bone loss\u00a0has affected more teeth.\u00a0Treatment is more difficult and complex than chronic periodontitis.<\/p>\n
