Periodontology

Healthy gums – the foundation for strong teeth

Periodontitis is a bacterial inflammation of the periodontium – bone, gums and connective tissue that anchor the tooth. Untreated, it leads to tooth loss and can affect systemic diseases.

What is Periodontitis?

Bacteria in soft and hard dental deposits penetrate gum pockets and cause inflammation that attacks the bone. Early treatment prevents tooth loss and protects your health.

Early Detection

How do I recognize periodontitis?

A common sign is bleeding gums, especially when brushing. If this occurs regularly, you should see a dentist immediately. The earlier treatment begins, the better we can prevent tooth loss.

Warning signs you should not ignore:

  • Bleeding gums when brushing
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Swelling or redness of the gums
  • Receding gums
  • Loose teeth or changed bite position
  • Sensitive tooth necks

When to see the dentist?

If you notice bleeding, swelling or redness, you should make an appointment early. The earlier periodontitis is treated, the better we can preserve your teeth.

Risk Factors

What factors favor periodontitis?

Various factors increase the risk of periodontitis, many of which you can influence yourself.

Caries & Filling Margins

Medium

Irregular filling margins offer bacteria ideal niches

Crowded Teeth

Medium

Make cleaning difficult and favor plaque formation

Smoking

High

Major risk factor, weakens immune system and circulation

Stress & Genetics

Medium

Stress, pregnancy and genetic predisposition

Diabetes

High

Increases inflammation risk and delays healing

Inadequate Oral Hygiene

High

Insufficient dental care allows bacteria to thrive

Good news: You can actively prevent!

Thorough oral hygiene with dental floss and interdental brushes, regular professional dental cleaning and healthy lifestyle habits significantly reduce your risk.

Treatment

How is periodontitis treated?

Treatment aims to reduce bacteria in gum pockets and promote healing.

1

Remove dental deposits

First, we thoroughly and gently remove the dental deposits that serve as a food source for bacteria with modern instruments.

2

Scaling & Root Planing

Thorough cleaning of root surfaces and gum pockets, the foundation for healthy gums. Inflamed tissue is gently removed to promote bone healing.

3

Bone augmentation if needed

In severe cases, bone augmentation may be necessary to regenerate lost tissue and stabilize teeth long-term.

4

Aftercare & Prophylaxis

Regular professional dental cleaning and individual recall programs ensure long-term success and prevent relapses.

PRF Regeneration

Platelet-Rich Fibrin from your own blood accelerates healing and promotes tissue regeneration for optimal treatment results.

Creating a stable foundation

Healthy gums and strong bone form the foundation for your teeth. We treat systematically to secure this foundation long-term.

Regenerative Therapy

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is an autologous concentrate from your blood that contains growth factors and significantly accelerates tissue regeneration after periodontal procedures.

Faster Healing

Growth factors promote tissue regeneration

100% Biocompatible

From your own blood – no rejection

Simple Procedure

Quick blood draw directly before the procedure

We use PRF in periodontitis treatment, bone augmentation and implantations – for optimal healing results.

Prevention

The most important preventive measure is thorough oral hygiene. In addition to regular brushing, dental floss and interdental brushes are crucial – they clean hard-to-reach areas where bacteria develop.

Dental Floss & Interdental Brushes

Use daily – they are the most effective tools for interdental spaces

Professional Dental Cleaning (PZR)

Regular PZR removes bacteria and tartar – the basis for healthy gums

Recall Programs

Individual aftercare programs ensure long-term success after treatment

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Periodontitis & Aftercare

What is Periodontitis (Periodontosis)?
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammation of the periodontium – i.e., gums, connective tissue and bone. If left untreated, teeth loosen and can be lost.
How does Periodontosis develop?
Bacteria deposit in biofilm and tartar. If they enter the gum pocket, the tissue becomes inflamed and the bone is broken down.
What factors favor Periodontosis?
Smoking, stress, pregnancy, genetic disposition, poorly fitting fillings, crowded teeth or systemic diseases such as diabetes increase the risk.
How do I recognize Periodontosis?
Typical signs are bleeding gums when brushing, bad breath, swelling, pressure sensation or a receding gum line. Sensitive tooth necks can also be an indication.
How can I prevent Periodontosis?
Thorough oral hygiene with brush, dental floss and interdental brushes, low-sugar diet as well as regular professional dental cleanings and check-ups are the best prevention.
How is Periodontosis treated?
We remove deposits above and below the gums, smooth root surfaces and disinfect pockets. If necessary, we supplement with laser therapy, PRF and bone augmentation.
Does PRINZIDENT offer gentle treatment?
Yes. We work with magnifying glasses, laser, Guided Biofilm Therapy and warm powders. This makes the therapy low-bleeding and supports rapid healing.
What can I do after treatment to prevent Periodontosis?
Implement our care tips at home, use dental floss and interdental brushes and come regularly for professional dental cleaning and aftercare.
When should I see the dentist?
At any sign of bleeding gums, swelling or bad breath. The earlier we intervene, the lower the risk of tooth loss.
