Treatment of parodontal diseases

The inflammation is to be stopped during phase 1. The first step is consulting the patient. Removal of plaque, concrement and tartar follows.

The causes are removed to the greatest possible extent during phase 2. This includes thorough concrement removal at the roots with the gingiva folded away for better access; removal of granulation (inflamed tissue rich in blood vessels) in the soft tissue and bone pockets; accompanying antibiotic therapy in the case of aggressive disease; mucogingival surgery.

The main objective of phase 3 is to achieve and maintain results. This retention therapy is connection with continuous follow-up support of the patient with supporting measures such as planing overlapping filling edges, for example.
