treatment
Dentists distinguish two forms of periodontitis: acute and chronic. The first is characterized by a rapid course and pronounced symptoms of the inflammatory process. The second is characterized by an asymptomatic course with periods of exacerbation and manifestations of individual symptoms.
Depending on the cause of development, the following types of periodontal inflammation are distinguished:
Based on the complexity of the symptoms, the intensity of the pain syndrome and the methods of treatment used, the following forms of periodontitis are distinguished:
It is necessary to determine the type of disease, since the applied treatment regimen and its effectiveness depend on the accuracy of the diagnosis.
Symptoms
Depending on the type of periodontitis, various clinical manifestations occur. The acute stage can last several weeks, after which, without timely and high-quality treatment, it becomes chronic.
Chronic type of pathology
- Discomfort when chewing or hygienic treatment of the oral cavity
- Painful sensations in the submandibular lymph nodes
- Feeling of heaviness around the affected molar
- Repulsive and pungent odor from the mouth
- Excessive sensitivity of the soft tissues of the tooth
- Formation of fistulas in the upper jaw
The first phase of the pathological process
- Aching pain in dental tissues
- Heaviness around a molar affected by periodontitis
- Increased discomfort when pressing on the tooth
Exudative phase
- The intensity of the pain syndrome increases
- Tissue swelling occurs around the affected tooth
- Lymph nodes hurt
Possible consequences
Chronic periodontitis is often accompanied by a number of complications. The most common of them include:
- Periostitis (flux) – inflammation of the periosteum
- Pulpitis - inflammation of the pulp tissue
- Abscess is an accumulation of pus near the root of a tooth
- Phlegmon - purulent inflammation of the soft tissues of the face and neck
- Fistula - the formation of a hole in the gum for the natural removal of pus
- Osteomyelitis is a purulent infectious pathology affecting bone tissue
Any of the listed diseases can lead to or be accompanied by complete destruction of the molar.
The cost of periodontitis treatment directly depends on the stage of its development and the presence of complications. That is why it is worth contacting a doctor at the first manifestations of the disease.
Diagnostics
To identify an acute form of periodontitis, the dentist only needs to conduct a visual examination of the patient’s oral cavity and listen to his complaints. Characteristic symptoms and pain of an aching, pulsating type directly indicate periodontitis and its type.
To diagnose the chronic form, specialized research methods are required. These include computed tomography of the jaw and radiography. Thanks to the images obtained as a result of the diagnosis, the doctor will be able to assess the characteristics of the pathological process and determine the optimal treatment regimen.
