How to treat periodontal disease?

The tooth loosening caused by periodontal disease needs to be evaluated to determine whether the affected tooth has the value of retention. If it can be retained, the affected tooth can be fixed to the healthy tooth next to it through loose tooth fixation, which is conducive to dispersing the occlusal force and reducing the burden of the affected tooth. Clinically, if the alveolar bone has been absorbed to 1/3 of the root apex by X-ray, periodontal exploration determines that there are deep periodontal pockets or complex periodontal pockets, and the tooth loosening has 3 degrees. At this time, it is not recommended to retain the affected teeth, extract the affected teeth in time, determine the repair method, which is conducive to the height and thickness of the affected alveolar bone. Although the loose tooth fixation technique can try to retain the teeth, it should also be explained to the patient, follow the doctor's advice, and do not bite the hard food with the front teeth. In addition, regular review is also carried out to maintain good oral hygiene.
