The Treatment of Periodontal Disease

Periodontal disease (gum disease) is classified according to its severity. The diagram above gives a simplified view of the three stages of the disease.
The diagram at the top of the page shows the soft tissue (gums--the gingiva) as gray, the bone as the spongy looking white material underneath it, and the teeth as white. The black material (on the diagram) encrusting the teeth is calculus, a hard, flinty buildup of hardened plaque which tends to act like a splinter when it is in chronic contact with the gingiva.
2. The debridement patient

Sometimes, a new patient will present with so much plaque and calculus built up on their teeth that it is impossible to completely visualize the teeth, or to probe the depths of the patient's periodontal pockets without pain and bleeding. When this is the case, A normal prophylaxis is not possible, and a more aggressive procedure called a full mouth debridement is necessary. It involves a rough scaling to remove the bulk of the calculus and plaque from the teeth, and as far down on the roots as the patient can tolerate without anesthesia. This will make it possible for the patient's gums to begin the process of healing, and just as importantly, it makes a thorough oral examination possible.

以下條 link 是中文版的牙周病資料。太長 paste 唔到。自己入去睇啦。http://hk.knowledge.yahoo.com/question/?qid=7007050200176

牙周病是牙齒周圍組織的疾病。由積聚在牙齦(牙肉)邊緣的牙菌膜分泌毒素令牙周組織發炎所引致。
