Oralna medicina i parodontologija

Oral Medicine and Periodontics

Over 500 different conditions of the entire organism is possible to detect from the changes of the soft tissues of the mouth and throat. Often it’s the oral pathologist, who is the first to diagnose malignant conditions of the oral cavity and autoimmune illnesses (ulcers, pemphigus, pemphigoid, lichen, etc.).

Poor and old fillings, bad and old prostheses, lack of teeth, advanced periodontal changes and bad habits contribute to the occurrence of damage to the oral mucosa and serious oral diseases.

It’s important to promptly treat bacterial, viral and fungal infections of the mouth and remove any irritation.

It’s possible to treat and relieve the burning sensation in the oral mucosa and tongue. The treatment with biostimulative low-power laser irradiation (LLLT) gives good effects in reducing pain and burning sensation, faster healing of all kinds of wounds and injuries, faster restitution of tissue and restoring the lost functions, and reducing inflammation of the gums and periodontal tissue.

Small benign tumors of the soft tissues in the mouth (fibroma, nipples, swollen gingiva) are removed surgically.

It is possible to treat neuralgia of the mandibular and facial nerve, the dry mouth syndrome, detection of the causes and treatment of bad breath and treatment of periodontal disease.

Periodontics deals with diseases of the supporting structures of the teeth. The periodontium is the functional unit of different tissues that support the teeth, and it’s comprised of the gingiva (gums), periodontal ligament, cementum of the tooth and alveolar bone.

Periodontal diseases are inflammatory conditions that may occur due to the deterioration of tissues that support the teeth. We distinguish between gingivitis, gum inflammation, and inflammation of the whole supporting apparatus which is called periodontitis (periodontal disease).

The cause of the inflammation is the accumulation of plaque full of bacteria due to inadequate oral hygiene. Irregular and improper hygiene leads to formation of tartar on the surface of the tooth. Tartar injures and destroys the gingiva (gums) thereby causing inflammation (gingivitis). Gingivitis is characterized by swollen, intensely red gums that are prone to bleeding. It is easily treated by professional cleaning of the teeth by the dentist followed by optimal daily care of the teeth.

Prolonged neglect of the inflammation of the gums can lead to Periodontitis. Pockets are formed between the teeth and gingiva, favoring the growth and reproduction of bacteria. With the multiplication of bacteria, the inflammation spreads deeper into supporting structures of the teeth and gradually weakens and destroys connective tissue, eventually resulting in tooth loss. The milder stages of the illness can be solved by removing plaque and tartar and removing inflamed tissue from the periodontal pocket, without cutting the gingiva. Advanced stages are treated surgically, by removing the inflamed gingiva (gums) with the aim of eliminating excess gum tissue up to the healthy part (Gingivectomy), removal of necrotic tissue around the roots, replacing the lost bone and finally tissue regeneration around the teeth.
