Periodontitis treatment with a recall system

Our periodontitis treatment is virtually painless.

Periodontitis treatment with recall system (sound-assisted on request)

Untreated periodontitis is not only a risk for your teeth, but also for your general health. Bleeding gums, bad breath, loose teeth and tooth loss are typical consequences. Studies also show that periodontitis significantly increases the risk of heart attack, stroke and arteriosclerosis. Respiratory diseases, fibromyalgia, Alzheimer's and certain types of cancer are also directly linked to this disease. Diabetes and untreated periodontitis are mutually reinforcing. In addition, one in three premature births can be attributed to periodontitis germs. With successful treatment of periodontitis, we can usually stop your bone loss. Our periodontitis treatment is supported by the recall system

Hyaluronic acid therapy for support

After thorough periodontitis treatment, healing can be specifically promoted with hyaluronic acid therapy. Hyaluronic acid has an anti-inflammatory effect, accelerates healing and supports the regeneration of gums and bone. Cell-generated bone regeneration of up to 2 mm can often be achieved - often within six months. The gums are stabilized and your oral health improves in the long term. In many cases, this means that teeth do not have to be extracted or replaced with implants.

Why timely treatment is important

Periodontitis usually begins inconspicuously. Many sufferers only notice the disease when teeth become loose. In Europe, more than 50% of adults are affected. However, if detected and treated early, teeth can often be preserved for many years.

If periodontitis remains untreated, it not only leads to tooth loss, but also increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, respiratory diseases and premature births.

Recall system for long-term success

Periodontitis is a chronic disease. Regular follow-up care is essential to ensure the long-term success of treatment. The recall system includes fixed check-up and cleaning appointments, in particular:

  • PZR (professional tooth cleaning)

  • UPT (supportive periodontitis therapy)

  • ZST (calculus removal)

This keeps your gums stable, your teeth can be preserved for longer and the risk of relapse is minimized. We also recommend the home application of hyaluronic acid using medication trays. This strengthens the gums and improves them in the long term.
