Curettage (open and closed)
Oral health is a key factor in overall well-being. One of the most common dental conditions that can affect the state of gums is periodontitis. This disease is characterized by inflammation of the gums and destruction of the supporting structures that hold the tooth in place.
One of the most effective methods for treating periodontitis is called scaling and root planing. Scaling and root planing is a procedure used to clean the tooth roots and remove bacteria and dental plaque from deep within the periodontal pockets. This method helps restore gum health and prevent further progression of the disease.
At DG Dental Studio, we provide open and closed scaling and root planing, which are two different approaches to this procedure depending on the condition of your periodontium.
Open scaling and root planing is a more invasive method used in cases of severe periodontal pocket involvement. During this process, the dentist makes a small incision to gain access to the depth of the periodontal pockets. Using special instruments, the dentist cleans the tooth roots, removes harmful bacteria and deposits, and repairs damaged tissues if necessary. After cleaning the pockets, the wound is sutured, allowing the tissues to heal.
On the other hand, closed scaling and root planing is used in mild cases of periodontitis. This method does not require an incision or sutures. The dentist uses special curettes to clean the tooth roots through the gum without making an incision. Closed scaling and root planing is a less invasive method that provides faster healing and less discomfort after the procedure.
DG Dental Studio consists of a team of experienced and qualified dentists who ensure quality and painless scaling and root planing. Our experts will conduct a thorough examination and select the optimal treatment method based on your situation.
When planning for scaling and root planing, it is important to note that results may vary depending on individual factors such as the stage of the disease, overall health condition, compliance with post-operative instructions, and more. Your dentist will provide you with detailed information about expected outcomes and recommendations for post-operative care.
