Periodontitis: Gum Disease

Considering the various known oral diseases. Periodontitis is the most common issue in oral healthcare and when left unattended it can easily damage the entire nature of the teeth.

Periodontitis, also known as Gum Disease is a condition in which inflammation of the soft tissues or Gums and as a result tooth loss can occur. Gums act as a supporting structure for the teeth and when it gets degraded it loses the capability to support the teeth. 

Causes of Periodontitis:
  • It happens when a bacterial organism and plaque develop around the tooth, and the insusceptible framework dispatches a response.
  • Smoking expands the danger of gum infection and of treatment not working.
  • Prevalently gram-negative anaerobic bacterial organisms are the main reseasons for the occurrence of the Plaque and the various bacterial types are: A. actinomycetemcomitans, P. gingivalis, P. intermedia, B. forsythus, C. rectus, E. nodatum, P. micros, S. intermedius and Treponema sp.
  • Poor Dental Hygiene and improper Food habit can also cause Periodontitis.
Periodontitis can also be considered as a Chronic disease if no proper treatment care is done. The various procedures and medications available for the diagnosis of Periodontitis are:

The first and foremost treatment method is self-medication which is following proper oral hygiene and food habits.
  • Since the root cause for the disease is the formation of plaque due to the chemical activity of the Bacteria, antimicrobial mouth rinse, such as chlorhexidine can be used to eliminate the presence of Bacterial Inflammation in the teeth. This also includes the usage of antibiotics Gels and Enzyme suppressants.
  • Advanced periodontitis treatment methods such as Flap surgery and Grafts usage are also followed to improve the oral condition from the Gum disease.
