Periodontal Disease Treatment

00:00:08.382 --> 00:00:11.968 Well, in the early stages, scaling and replanting 00:00:12.719 --> 00:00:15.513 and education about how to clean their teeth, 00:00:16.055 --> 00:00:17.890 we do periodontal surgery. 00:00:18.224 --> 00:00:22.686 Sometimes a patient loses tissue recession 00:00:23.228 --> 00:00:25.104 and those teeth become very sensitive, 00:00:25.363 --> 00:00:28.800 so we have to take tissue from the palate and place it in that area. 00:00:28.899 --> 00:00:30.776 We do osseous resection of the bone. 00:00:30.963 --> 00:00:32.200 We do bone grafting. 00:00:32.324 --> 00:00:37.073 A lot of times, if we have to remove teeth that have had root canals, 00:00:37.156 --> 00:00:40.409 we take out the tooth, put a bone graft in the socket site 00:00:40.742 --> 00:00:42.869 with a membrane over it, and then place an implant 00:00:43.286 --> 00:00:44.329 three months later. 00:00:44.787 --> 00:00:47.790 The mouth is divided into four quadrants, 00:00:48.123 --> 00:00:50.292 upper right, upper left, lower right, lower left. 00:00:51.001 --> 00:00:54.324 Usually if they need it, if it's a severe case, 00:00:54.837 --> 00:00:57.089 what we'll do is we'll scale and replanting first, 00:00:57.756 --> 00:00:59.425 we will measure all the pockets, 00:00:59.716 --> 00:01:03.428 and then at that point, we'll go ahead and do one quadrant at a time. 00:01:04.262 --> 00:01:07.640 Every two, we'll do one quadrant, remove the sutures two weeks later, 00:01:07.723 --> 00:01:09.183 do another quadrant that way. 00:01:09.403 --> 00:01:12.352 Sometimes a patient wants to do two quadrants at a time, 00:01:12.936 --> 00:01:15.534 and we do that quite frequently. 00:01:15.617 --> 00:01:20.150 After a quadrant of surgery where they have bone grafting, 00:01:20.734 --> 00:01:24.570 they should be without pain in about three days. 00:01:25.154 --> 00:01:28.115 Then we take the sutures out in about 10–12 days. 00:01:28.699 --> 00:01:30.184 At that particular point in time, 00:01:30.284 --> 00:01:32.869 they'll feel much, much better after the sutures out. 00:01:32.952 --> 00:01:36.539 Probably two weeks, they're fully healed. 00:01:37.331 --> 00:01:40.042 Of course, the bone grafts won't take for another two months, 00:01:40.125 --> 00:01:43.420 but they're covered with good, solid, clean tissue. 00:01:43.503 --> 00:01:46.672 What I think separates us is our staff 00:01:47.548 --> 00:01:51.009 and the fact that we keep up with all the latest technology.
