What is Operculectomy and why is it performed

图片
  What is Operculectomy? Operculectomy is the procedure of surgically removing the operculum or the flap of gum that partially covers over a tooth. This procedure treats pericoronitis, a condition characterized by pain and inflammation of the operculum. Pericoronitis typically occurs among young adults, especially those whose wisdom tooth is starting to erupt. What happens if  Operculectomy  is not performed? 1. Causes inflammation in the soft tissues surrounding the crown of the partially erupted tooth clinically called pericoronitis. It typically occurs in teeth that erupt very slowly or become impacted. 2. Penetration of bacteria into the follicular space initiates infection which is potentiated by food debris trapped in proximity to the operculum and occlusal trauma of the pericoronal tissues by the opposing tooth. When is  Operculectomy  suggested? Operculectomy is advised by the dentist when one develops Pericoronitis, which may be acute or chronic. Acute ...

7 Benefits of Using Laser Therapy for Periodontal Disease

图片
The recent development of lasers has helped many professionals make strides in their industries, and the oral care and hygiene industry is no exception. Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP) was developed and approved in 2004 as a laser treatment to combat periodontal disease. The surgical procedure has since been adopted by many surgeons and is praised for its accuracy and precision in removing gum tissue from around teeth. At Progressive Periodontics , our Tigard, OR laser periodontal surgeon is specifically trained to use LANAP and has performed the procedure countless times successfully, leaving patients with healthy gums. For periodontists, lasers could be the newest and most accurate way of performing dental work. Here, we'll introduce exactly the benefits of using laser therapy for periodontal diseases: 1. Less Gum Tissue Is Lost Lasers are simply more precise than manual instruments and are capable of targeting infected areas of your gums with little affect on sur...

The classical Periodontal treatment protocol

图片
  The classical Periodontal treatment protocol is generally divided into 4 stages: 1.Initial phase (or cleaning phase) 2.Assessment phase 3.Surgical phase 4.Maintenance phase As  periodontitis  usually occurs in the context of untreated periodontal disease, it is essential to carry out periodontal treatment of the whole mouth prior to oral implant placement or treatment of periodontitis.   In the initial phase of treatment, a non-surgical approach is usually used. The patient's oral hygiene is effectively controlled and dental calculus and plaque are removed by subgingival scraping and ultrasonic scaling.   This is followed by the use of the S3 dental diode diode laser with a  980nm  wavelength, set at 2.5W and a 50Hz pulsed output. The laser fibre tip is extended into the periodontal pocket and slides along the implant surface while emitting the laser. Frequent visual checks are required to check that the fiber tip is not contaminated with coagulated ...

Laser therapy for peri-implantitis

图片
  It is well known that the popularity of  oral implants  is increasing every year as people's living standards improve. The number of patients with peri-implantitis has increased rapidly in recent years due to the treatment conditions and the lack of awareness of patient protection at a later stage. If peri-implantitis is not treated promptly and effectively, it can lead to the loss of the implant. Peri-implant  infections have a similar etiology to periodontal infections, so is the treatment similar? Conventional treatment options for peri-implantitis without flap reversal have a poor chance of success. When we treat peri-implantitis after flap treatment, the outcome is much better. Although the flap allows better access to the implant, the sterilisation of the implant surface is much more complex than with normal subgingival scraping. The complex structure of the implant surface, although a good facilitator of bonding during implantation, is a headache trap for pe...

Applications of Low-Level laser therapy in dental practice

图片
  Low level lasers, cold or soft lasers: These lasers do not produce thermal effects on tissues and induce photoreactions in cells through light stimulation which is called photobiostimulation. Power of these lasers is usually under 250mW. The main point differentiating low level lasers and high power ones is the activation of photochemical reactions without heat formation. The most important factor to achieve this light characteristic in lasers is not their power, but their power density for each surfa ceunit (i.e cm2). Density lower than 670mW/cm2, can induce the stimulatory effects of low level lasers without thermal effects. Low level lasers (therapeutic) used today as treatment adjunctive devices in medicine and dentistry. Numerous studies have been performed on the applications of low level lasers in patient pain reduction. Mechanisms of pain reduction with therapeutic lasers and their application are expressed, and the studies realized in this field are presented.  Some...
