Periodontitis (also known as periodontal disease or pyorrhea) is a condition characterized by the gradual recession of the gums and exposure of the tooth roots.
If not stopped, this process will almost certainly lead to tooth loss.
Gingival recession is the loss of soft and hard tissues in the mucogingival region. Excessive gum recession and exposure of the root surface of one or more teeth cause increased root sensitivity to external stimuli.
What is an apicoectomy? It is an oral surgical procedure that involves removing the apex – the tip of the tooth root – together with the pathological process located within and around it. If your dentist recommends an apicoectomy, it is because it is the only alternative to tooth extraction.
Frenectomy (frenulum surgery / frenulectomy) is a surgical procedure used to correct the abnormal attachment of the lip frenulum to the gums. This condition most commonly affects the upper lip, but it can also occur on the lower lip, the tongue, and the inner cheek tissues.
Dental implants professional cleaning represents in-office maintenance of hygiene in the area around dental implants. It is necessary to perform it more frequently in cases of poor oral hygiene after an implant procedure.
Maintenance of dental implant hygiene is a key factor in determining their longevity. With proper care and regular dental check-ups, patients’ implants can last a lifetime.
Immediate implant placement is a combined oral surgical and implantological procedure. This intervention involves placing a dental implant immediately after tooth extraction. (The word immediate means instant, urgent.)
Implant-supported prosthesis is a form of complete prosthetic rehabilitation for the entire jaw – lower and/or upper. An implant-supported prosthesis is used to replace all teeth in edentulous jaws.
