Dentistry and Periodontology

The department provides care to the children and adults in general dental treatment, caries’ diagnosis and treatment, peridental (periodontology) and pulp (endodontia) diseases’ treatment. The objectives of conservative dentistry are the treatment of deformed, discolored or damaged teeth and replacement or rebuilding of already existing fillings with the help of aesthetic dental techniques such as fillings matching enamel colour (Inlay core) and whitening. Prophylactic and restorative stomatology Endodontics  is the dental specialty concerned with the treatment of dental pulp (pulp is a tissue filling the tooth cavity) and periapical tissues treatment. Endodontics care of the pulp includes infection treatment and tooth prophylaxis from recurrent bacterial infection. Root canal therapy involves removal of inflamed and infected pulp tissue. The treatment consists of forming, cleaning and disinfection of the root canal with the help of ultra thin files and irrigation instruments followed by the filling of the cleared canals. Most of the procedures are performed completely painlessly. Periodontology is concerned with the maintenance of healthy periodontium. The treatment of deep dentogingival sinuses is performed with the help of non-surgical periodontal therapy (such as odontolith extraction and root canal cleaning) to remove subgingival stone.  Adjuvant systemic therapy with antibiotics is used in aggressive forms of periodontal disease improve clinical and microbiological treatment outcome. In case of persistent inflammation surgical intervention is required (periodontal surgery). The marginal tissue recession with exposure of the root canal often holds an aesthetic problem to a patient. The optimal coverage of the exposed root canal could be achieved by applying various surgical techniques (periodontal plastic surgery) and tissue grafting.
