Limpieza profunda de los dientes

¿Qué es la limpieza profunda de los dientes??

La etapa inicial del tratamiento para la enfermedad periodontal es generalmente una limpieza completa que puede incluirlimpieza profunda de los dientes (también llamado escalamiento o aplanamiento de la raíz). The objective of these non-surgical procedures is to remove etiologic agents such as dental plaque and tartar, or calculus, which cause gingival inflammation and disease. Scaling and root planing can be used as a stand-alone treatment, or a preventative measure. Comúnmente se realizan en casos de gingivitis y enfermedad periodontal moderada a severa.

What do the procedures entail?

Dr. Jon Flynn y Dr. Monique Flynn sólo realizará el raspado y cepillado después de un minucioso examen de la boca de la raíz, which may include taking x-rays and visually examining the mouth. Depending on the condition of the gums, the amount of tartar present, the depth of the pockets, and the progression of periodontitis, doctores. Jon Flynn y Monique Flynn pueden recomendar raspado y alisado radicular. En la mayoría de los casos, puede utilizarse anestesia local durante el procedimiento.

• Scaling:
  When scaling is performed, calculus and plaque that attaches to the tooth surfaces is removed. The process especially targets the area below the gum line, along the root. Scaling is performed with a special dental tool called an ultrasonic scaling tool. The scaling tool usually includes an irrigation process that can be used to deliver an antimicrobial agent below the gums to help reduce oral bacteria.
• Root Planing:
  Root planing is performed in order to remove cementum and surface dentin that is embedded with unwanted microorganisms, toxins and tartar. The root of the tooth is literally smoothed, which promotes healing, and also helps prevent bacteria from easily colonizing in the future.

Antibiotics or irrigation with anti-microbials (chemical agents or mouth rinses) may be recommended to help control the growth of bacteria that create toxins and cause periodontitis. En algunos casos, doctores. Jon Flynn o Monique Flynn puede colocar a un agente antibiótico local en las bolsas periodontales después escalando y acepillando de. This may be done to control infection and to encourage normal healing.

When deep pockets between teeth and gums are present, es difícil para el Drs. Jon Flynn o Monique Flynn para eliminar completamente la placa y el sarro. Patients can seldom, if ever, keep these pockets clean and free of plaque. Consequently, surgery may be needed to restore periodontal health.

¿Cuáles son los beneficios del tratamiento??

If treatment is successful, raspado y alisado radicular pueden tener muchos beneficios periodontales. One is that it can help prevent disease. Research has proven that bacteria from periodontal infections can travel through the blood stream and affect other areas of the body, sometimes causing heart and respiratory diseases. Scaling and root planing remove bacteria that cause these conditions.

Otro beneficio del tratamiento es proteger contra la pérdida de los dientes. When gum pockets exceed 3mm in depth, el riesgo de enfermedad periodontal aumenta. As pockets deepen, more bacteria are able to colonize, eventually causing a chronic inflammatory response by the body to destroy gingival and bone tissue. This leads to tooth loss.

Finalmente, scaling and root planing may make the mouth more aesthetically pleasing, and should reduce bad breath caused from food particles and bacteria in the oral cavity. Superficial stains on the teeth will be removed during scaling and planing, adding an extra bonus to the procedures.
