What is periodontal basic treatment?

Periodontal basic treatment is the most basic treatment that every patient with periodontal disease must receive.

Periodontal basic therapy can successfully treat most periodontal diseases, and it is an essential preparation stage for periodontal and other oral treatments. The treatment at this stage is also called the treatment to eliminate the cause.

Its main contents include guiding patients to self-control dental plaque, using oral cleaning tools correctly, such as toothbrush, dental floss and interdental brush, and removing diseased teeth without reservation value.

Extended data:

Patients with chronic gingivitis, after basic periodontal treatment, the inflammation subsides, the gingival tissue can be completely restored to health, and the condition can be checked regularly to prevent recurrence or aggravation.

In patients with mild periodontitis, the periodontal pocket may become shallow or disappear after basic periodontal treatment. Periodontal tissue can also be restored to health. If there is no tooth loss, there is no need for restoration and treatment, and it will directly enter the long-term periodontal maintenance stage.

For moderate and severe periodontitis, although the inflammation can basically subside and the periodontal pocket becomes shallow after basic periodontal treatment, further multidisciplinary treatments such as periodontal surgery, dental pulp, restoration and orthodontics are generally needed.
