PARODONTOLOGIJA
Periodontology is a branch of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases of the gums and supporting tissues of the teeth. Periodontal diseases, such as gingivitis and periodontitis, can lead to tooth loss if not treated in time. Healthy gums are not only important for the appearance of your smile, but also for your overall oral health. Gum disease can be associated with certain systemic conditions, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

TREATMENT PROCEDURE IN PERIODONTOLOGY
Treatment in periodontology includes several steps that are adapted to the condition of the gums and the degree of progression of the disease. The most common steps include:
-
1
Examination and diagnosis
The treatment begins with a detailed examination of the gums and supporting apparatus of the teeth, with the use of appropriate diagnostic methods.
-
2
Professional teeth cleaning (tartar removal)
Removal of tartar and deposits that cause gum inflammation and periodontal disease.
-
3
Deep cleaning (curettage)
In more serious conditions, curettage is applied, i.e. deep cleaning below the gum line, in order to reduce the amount of bacteria and inflammation in the periodontal pockets.
-
4
Surgical treatments
In the case of advanced disease, surgical interventions, such as flap surgery, may be necessary to restore gum and bone health.
