Periodontology treatment includes both surgical and non-surgical treatments. Long-term and healthy continuation of all kinds of treatments and applications performed in the mouth is strictly dependent on compliance with the basic principles of Periodontology. Having healthy teeth alone is never enough. If the teeth and gums as a whole and the surrounding supporting tissues are healthy, everything is in balance. Even though their teeth are caries-free, many tooth losses may occur in people whose surrounding tissues and gum health, i.e. periodontal condition, are not good. No matter how high-tech, expensive, aesthetic prostheses and appliances are made in the mouth, if they are not compatible with the gums, they are ultimately doomed to fail. Even a simple filling must be compatible with the gums. As a result of periodontal incompatible restorations applied to patients, gum problems and infections that did not exist before develop. For this reason, many incompatible restorations have to be replaced and thrown away every year. Thus, there is a loss of time, money and effort. The healthiest way to prevent this is not to apply any restoration to periodontal unhealthy tissues.
Before any restoration to be made in the mouth, utmost care and attention should be paid to ensure periodontal health. Periodontics treatment is not just about preventing and eliminating diseases. It also deals with the preparation of hard and soft tissues around the teeth before prosthetic applications. For this purpose, plastic surgery procedures are performed. The levels of excessively visible gums are corrected, color harmony is organized, crown lengthening procedures are performed to increase the retention of crown and bridge restorations, exposed root surfaces can be closed with various plastic surgery procedures, congenital anomalies can be corrected, and a harmonious soft tissue support and transition can be provided in aesthetic dentistry applications. These processes are extremely delicate, sometimes requiring work under a lens, sometimes under a microscope. In addition to these procedures performed by periodontology specialists, implant surgery, creating the infrastructure of implant-supported prostheses, plastic surgery procedures, long-term replacement of implants. Carrying out the necessary protective measures for long-term healthy use, making the necessary interventions to eliminate infections occurring around the implant, applying bone grafts, and applying regenerative treatments are also included in the application area of ​​Periodontology
