Patients who consult a dentist at an early stage of periodontitis (bacterial gum disease) can often avoid future tooth replacements such as implants, bridges, or crowns altogether. Gum treatment and consistent oral hygiene maintained by the patient are crucial for preserving natural teeth and may help avoid complex dental procedures.<\/p>

Our dental hygienists and prophylaxis experts at KU64 Berlin are happy to advise you on preventive care for periodontitis!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Recognising Periodontal Disease\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Although gum infections are widespread in Germany, they are rarely detected early. That\u2019s because initial symptoms are usually mild and often not associated with a serious condition. Lack of awareness only adds to the problem.<\/p>

Periodontitis is the most common form of gum disease \u2014 and is now a more frequent cause of tooth loss than cavities. Periodontics focuses on preserving or restoring gum health, ideally avoiding the need for artificial teeth. In some cases, high-quality implants remain the best solution.<\/p>

Early diagnosis is especially important for implant patients.<\/strong> To ensure our prophylaxis program protects your implants effectively, we also assess your bone metabolism, which can be impacted by undetected diabetes or low vitamin D levels. We now offer tests for both.<\/p>

Implant-Safe Test: \u20ac64<\/p>

How Periodontitis Develops\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

More and more people suffer from chronic inflammation of the gums and supporting structures. It\u2019s caused by bacteria found in dental plaque, which also contribute to tartar. These bacteria settle on the tooth root surface and move toward the root tip. The immune system then responds by attacking both the bacteria and the supporting tissues \u2014 eventually leading to tooth loosening and loss. Fortunately, early treatment can prevent this.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Inflammation of the gums or periodontal pockets (gingivitis or periodontitis) can be prevented with good oral hygiene and regular check-ups. Dentists can detect periodontitis early during a routine check-up or even during professional cleanings. Bleeding gums may be an early warning sign.<\/p>

At our KU64 dental practice in Berlin, we are one of the few clinics offering the PerioSafe\u00ae Test \u2014 the world\u2019s first diagnostic test for detecting hidden tissue loss in the gums.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The goal of periodontal treatment is to remove bacteria from beneath the gumline and within gum pockets, eliminating the root cause of the inflammation.<\/p>

The procedure is divided into four phases:<\/p>

1. Pretreatment (2\u20133 sessions):<\/strong>
All plaque above the gumline is removed both manually and mechanically. We\u2019ll teach you how to maintain this clean state at home \u2014 your cooperation is essential for success.<\/p>

2. Treatment (1\u20132 sessions):<\/strong>
The actual periodontal therapy focuses on removing bacteria and calculus (tartar) from deep root surfaces, typically under local anesthesia. This is done using hand instruments, ultrasonic tools, medical rinses, and a special laser with a fluorescence-controlled feedback system that precisely vaporizes bacteria and calculus, sterilizing the pockets and stimulating healing.<\/p>

Note: Some sensitivity to hot\/cold or biting may occur temporarily \u2014 this is no cause for concern.<\/p>

3. Possible Regeneration (Bone Reconstruction):<\/strong>
In certain cases, lost bone and periodontal structures can be rebuilt using minimally invasive microsurgery and bioactive substances. Prerequisite: completed periodontal therapy and excellent oral hygiene.<\/p>

4. Aftercare and Recall:<\/strong>
Even after treatment, susceptibility to bacteria remains. That\u2019s why regular professional cleanings and follow-up appointments are essential to keep gum disease from returning. These appointments typically occur every 1 to 3 months depending on disease severity and include antibacterial rinses to also protect against cavities.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

For long-term implant success, sufficient bone is essential. If bone mass is lacking, augmentation procedures like sinus lifts can help. Bone loss may result from periodontitis, tooth loss, denture pressure, genetic factors, illnesses, medications, aging, or smoking.<\/p>

What\u2019s needed for bone augmentation?<\/strong>
You need sufficient bone height and width. Width is easier to restore than height.
In the lower jaw, bone density is typically better than in the upper jaw. If the upper jaw lacks bone due to the sinus cavity, a sinus lift may be required.<\/p>

External vs. Internal Sinus Lift<\/strong>
Both procedures thicken the floor of the sinus cavity:<\/p>

\u2013 External sinus lift<\/strong> is more complex and is used when significant height must be gained.
\u2013 Internal sinus lift<\/strong> is less invasive and uses the implant\u2019s drill channel for access.<\/p>
