Moderate periodontal disease is characterized by periodontal defects up to 5 mm deep, which represents a critical moment when the condition can be maintained or tends to worsen and deepen. This stage of the disease requires a careful and systematic approach. Therapy begins with an initial phase that includes a detailed examination and assessment of the condition of the periodontal tissue, as well as accurate measurements of the depth of the periodontal pockets.
In the next steps of the treatment, all threatened areas are treated in order to remove the deepest deposits and damaged tissue. The process is performed with local anesthesia, which makes the procedure painless. The treatment is performed with the help of ultrasound, special periodontal instruments, and laser therapy. The laser plays an important role in the treatment because it helps destroy the bacteria that cause inflammation and promotes faster tissue healing.
After treatment, patients usually feel no pain, although there may be mild discomfort or pressure sensitivity for a short period. After all deep defects have been treated, the patient will be regularly monitored and motivated for proper oral hygiene. We create a personalized plan to maintain the condition and work to improve the patient’s overall oral health.
During these treatments, additional therapy or antibiotics are usually not needed. Antibiotics are used only in specific stages of therapy and only when necessary. Periodontal disease is treated with a series of dental treatments, not just antibiotics, which ensures long-term success and maintenance of gum and tooth health.
