Pyorrhoea Treatment It is a disease of gums, when your gums become infected due to improper cleaning and maintenance bleeding occurs from your gums and it becomes swollen.

Scaling and root planing are two of the most common dental procedures performed to remove plaque and tartar buildup to prevent tooth decay, as well as smoothen and save the gums from further damage due to bacteria. Both are parts of deep or comprehensive dental cleaning. These procedures are non-surgical and are performed to prevent the need for more serious procedures such as root canal and periodontal surgery.

Both scaling and root planing are non-surgical outpatient dental procedures that can be performed under local anaesthesia depending on the severity of the condition and the patient’s level of anxiety. The procedure, which is performed by a periodontist, starts by removing plaque and tartar buildup on the teeth’s surface using curette or a dental scaler. An ultrasonic instrument may also be used. As its name suggests, the hand piece uses ultrasonic waves to break down the deposits. The device also has the ability to spray small amounts of water to further soften the plaque and remove those that have already been chipped off.

This is followed by root planing, which is performed to smoothen the surface of the roots to speed up the healing process and to significantly reduce the possibility of bacterial growth that can pose serious dental problems later on. In cases that involve deep periodontal pockets, the periodontist may opt to flip the gums and clean the area thoroughly to ensure that there’s no bacteria left behind.

Dr. Ravi ladani periodontics at Harsha Hospital belives that few patients must require flap surgery.During this treatment, the Dr. Ravi Ladani incises the gums to expose the roots of teeth with very deep pockets. These pockets are filled with bacteria and debris but can be cleaned and disinfected so they heal.To accomplish this procedure, our dentist uses local anesthesia to numb the areas and then creates a flap in the gums. This opens the area so he can remove the tartar and instill antibiotic medication.

Also, Dr. Maitrey Bhalodia and Dr. Ravi Ladani add Platelet-derived Growth Factors to the site. This liquid medication helps the periodontal ligament and gum tissue to regrow so that the tooth is more properly anchored. After he instills the growth factors, he sutures the area closed.

This amazing surgery produces excellent results in our all patients. Additionally, it helps the operated areas look better as gum tissue regrows.
