Periodontal teeth cleaning
Periodontal cleaning is a deep cleaning of the teeth and gums, performed in cases of periodontal disease. The procedure removes hard and soft dental deposits not only above but also below the gum line – in periodontal pockets.
The procedure includes:
- local anesthesia for a comfortable course of treatment;
- removal of tartar and biofilm with ultrasonic instruments;
- polishing of the roots of the teeth to prevent the re-accumulation of deposits;
- antiseptic treatment of periodontal pockets;
- application of medicinal preparations for healing and restoration of gum tissues.
Special Gracie curettes can also be used in addition.
At the Family Dent clinic, periodontal cleaning is performed using the latest generation ultrasonic device Varios (NSK, Japan) and hand tools from Hu-Friedy (USA).
For air-abrasive treatment and polishing, we use the Varios Combi Pro device (NSK, Japan) with special attachments and individual selection of powder according to the patient’s needs.
