CLINICAL CASE
Pyorrhea: dental implants due to periodontitis
Pyorrhea or periodontitis is a periodontal disease that affects the gums, causing problems in our oral health such as malocclusion, gum wear and chewing problems, among others. Periodontitis is caused by bacteria in the mouth and can be aggravated by a poor diet, stress, diseases such as diabetes, tobacco and tartar.
We analyze a clinical case of periodontitis treated in our dental clinic. Periodontitis or “pyorrhea”, a painless and serious gum disease, being one of the most frequent causes of tooth loss from the age of 45 and generating chewing and aesthetic problems that make it difficult for people who suffer from it to have a satisfactory life. Dental implantology has revolutionized modern dentistry, allowing to recover the chewing capacity and self-esteem of patients who have lost one or more teeth.
Advanced periodontitis before and after
A 44-year-old patient who comes to our center with a major self-esteem problem caused by the absence of teeth lost due to periodontitis. In this case we opted to rehabilitate the loss of these pieces by means of dental implants placed in a single intervention under a microscope and in a minimally invasive way. Subsequently, fixed provisional teeth were placed, which were modified in shape and color until the complete satisfaction of the patient. Finally, the provisional teeth were replaced by ceramic teeth. The result was a highly grateful patient who fully recovered her self-esteem.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the symptoms of pyorrhea or periodontitis?
Pyorrhea, along with caries, is the leading cause of tooth loss. In many cases, the symptoms of periodontitis can go unnoticed and be diagnosed too late. In others, it can manifest itself through bleeding gums, bad breath, gum recession and even tooth mobility.

What treatments are available for pyorrhea or periodontitis?
The treatment of periodontitis consists of a disinfection of the gums or “deep cleaning”, a treatment with local anesthesia that “numbs” the gum and allows cleaning the space between the tooth and the gum where tartar and disease-causing bacteria accumulate. Subsequently, dental implant techniques are often used to harmonize and restructure the damaged teeth.
