Periodontics

Periodontology or periodontics is the specialty of dentistry that includes study of supporting structures of teeth, as well as diseases and conditions that affect them. The supporting tissues are generally known as the periodontium that includes the gingiva (gums), alveolar bone, cementum, and the periodontal ligament. A periodontist is one who is specialized in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease and in the placement of dental implants. Periodontists are also experts in treating oral inflammations. As specialists in periodontal disease, they are aware of all the latest techniques for diagnosing and treating periodontal disease. They are also trained in cosmetic periodontal procedures.

Periodontists are involved with treatment of cases ranging from mild gingivitis to more severe periodontitis. Periodontists have a wide range of treatment options such as,

  • Scaling and root planning ( cleaning of infected root surfaces)
  • Root surface debridement (damaged tissue removal)
  • Regenerative procedures (lost bone and tissue reversal)

When required, periodontists can also perform surgical procedures for patients with severe gum disease. Along with this, periodontists are also trained in the placement, maintenance and repair of dental implants.
