Periodontal maintenance

Periodontics is the specialty that deals with the prevention, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of periodontitis, but also takes care of its maintenance. Long-term control of periodontitis requires a periodic program of gingival disinfection, otherwise the disease may reactivate. Clínica Pronova will design an individualized periodontal maintenance program for each patient to control their periodontitis, as well as to prevent the appearance of caries or other oral diseases.

Periodic and individualized periodontal maintenance is a program that prevents the reactivation of periodontitis in the long term and thus prevents bone loss around the teeth and subsequent tooth loss. The maintenance program consists of a painless deep gum disinfection treatment with nitrous oxide sedation, lasting 45-60 minutes, in which the bacteria inside the gum will be eliminated, tooth brushing techniques will be reviewed and periodontitis progression will be analyzed.
