Periodontics is the dental specialty that relates specifically to the care and maintenance of these tissues. It provides the support necessary to maintain teeth in function. It consists of four principal components namely

1. Gingiva
2.  Periodontal ligament
3. Cementum
4.  Alveolar bone

 

Parodontopathy is the illness that catches all structures of periodontium. It’s progressive, destructive and leads to loss of one or more teeth, cause it’s prevention it the late stages is impossible. Because of that, prevention and regular visits to the dentist who can diagnose it in early stages are crucial, when parodontopathy can be stopped or slowed down.

 

Subjective hardships that patient can notice and that can point that is the time for dental exam are:

 

• gum bleeding
• feeling of burning and tingling
• teeth sensitivity
• pain when chewing
• teeth oscillation
• mobility and spacing of the teeth
• tooth fallout.

 

During exam we can found that there is:

 

• gum inflammation
• gum recession
• periodontal pockets
• puss exudate from periodontal pockets
• calculus forming on teeth
• teeth oscillation
• pathological migration of teeth

 

Goal of the therapy is to eliminate pathological changes of tissues, elimination of subjective hardships, to provide good function of teeth and periodontium, and to prevent further progression of this illness.

Straumann® Emdogain™ is designed to treat and reverse the effects of gum disease and gingival recession, in conjunction with periodontal surgery.

 

Emdogain contains a group of proteins that is applied directly to the tooth root. These enamel matrix proteins are what helped your teeth form when you were a child. Your body recognizes the proteins and again begins to form the tissue fibers that anchor your teeth.

Emdogain not only helps to promote the reformation of tooth attachment fibers upon application, but it also continues the development of new attachment for up to one year.

Compared with traditional treatments Emdogain:

 

• Can be less invasive
• Results in less pain and discomfort
• Treats defects created by periodontal disease
• Enhanced periodontal wound healing
• Creates natural-looking and long-lasting results
