For Dentists

Periodontitis

Periodontitis is a multifactorial disease that affects a large proportion of the population and should be taken seriously. Many scientific studies show clearly that periodontitis is triggered by a specific group of periodontopathogenic bacteria. Besides this, there is also a range of other risk factors, such as the patient’s genetic predisposition or whether or not the patient is smoking.

General health

The successful treatment of periodontitis is important not just for tooth preservation. Infection of the periodontal apparatus can also have consequences for general health, because the bacteria enter the bloodstream via the infected gum tissue.

Treating periodontitis

If periodontitis is to be treated successfully, the treatment measures must be coordinated in terms of content, causal aspects and timing – from the thorough examination to lifelong maintenance therapy.

Antibiotic therapy

If antibiotic therapy is required for treating periodontitis, this should be confirmed diagnostically because of the issue of increasing resistance to antibiotics. Because not all species of bacteria are sensitive to the same antibiotic.
