Scaling and root planing Scaling and root planing are the basic treatments given by a dentist to patients with periodontal disease. It is a treatment method that removes plaque and tartar that are the causes of periodontal disease, prevents them from sticking around the teeth again, suppresses the progression of periodontal disease, and prevents it. First of all, this scaling and route planing will improve the symptoms. |
Scaling Scaling is a special treatment device called a scaler (ultrasonic scaler / hand scaler) that removes plaque that has not been completely removed by the patient's own toothpaste and tartar that cannot be removed by toothpaste. It is a treatment method to remove using. Tartar itself does not directly cause periodontal disease, but since plaque easily adheres to the surface of tartar, the causative bacteria of periodontal disease multiply and the symptoms of periodontal disease progress. Also, if you scale and remove tartar, you may feel that your teeth are smeared or lengthened when you eat cold food temporarily, because they are because the tartar that covered your teeth and gums is gone. Dont worry. |
Root planing Root plaining is the removal of plaque and tartar that cannot be removed by scaling, which are hidden in the gums and periodontal pockets (gingival grooves where the gums around the teeth are swollen and deepened). However, it is a treatment method that polishes the surface of the teeth so that plaque and tartar are hard to adhere again. Scaling and root planing suppress gingival inflammation and make the periodontal pocket shallower. It is possible to suppress the progression of periodontal disease and cure it completely in the early stages of periodontal disease, but at the same time, it is important to have guidance on how to brush your teeth correctly and to review your lifestyle and eating habits. .. |
PMTC (Professional Mechanical Tooth Cleaning)"PMTC (Professional Mechanical Tooth Cleaning)" is a treatment that focuses on "preventing periodontal disease and tooth decay" rather than periodontal disease treatment. The plaque that causes periodontal disease should be removed by brushing, but in reality, brushing alone does not completely remove plaque, especially the "biofilm" (a mass of bacteria that clings to the teeth). .. Therefore, PMTC removes plaque that cannot be removed by daily brushing using a special instrument at the dental clinic. PMTC is a preventive measure, not a removal of tartar, and is intended for people who have completed treatment for periodontal disease. The purpose of PMTC is to prevent tooth decay and periodontal disease, strengthen the tooth structure, remove colored stains on teeth, and prevent bad breath. PMTC is an out-of-insurance medical treatment (free medical treatment) that is not covered by insurance. PMTC flow 1: Check for unpolished residue using a plaque stain. 2: Remove the plaque hidden in the tooth surface, between the teeth, and the gums using a special tool. 3: Clean the teeth by polishing the colored stains on the teeth with a special tool and a polishing agent. 4: Apply fluorine to the surface of the tooth and polish it carefully to prevent bacteria from sticking to it and prevent tooth decay and periodontal disease. |
