Periodontal disease affects almost 90% of the adult population. It is a silent, painless disease caused by plaque which accumulates on teeth above and below the gum line. Periodontology is the branch of dentistry that deals with hard and soft tissues that supports your teeth and maintains their position in the jaw. The objective of periodontics is to help patients maintain the form, function and esthetics of their teeth for as long as possible. With its recent advances in the field, Periodontics is now an inevitable part of Today's dentistry.
Periodontal medicine, regenerative therapy, periodontal plastic surgery, laser dentistry and dental implant surgery are now the main pillars of modern periodontics . In addition, periodontology have extended its field in the treatment of temporomandibular disorder , occlusal rehabilitation, and gummy smile. Because of the association of periodontal health with other medical disciplines, periodontology can rightly be regarded as a 'reflection of systemic health'.
To sum up periodontic with its multidisciplinary approach creates a radiance of hope on every face.
