Periodontitis in which cases need scaling

once there is periodontitis, subgingival scaling is needed. Because periodontitis has led to gingival redness and bleeding, periodontal attachment loss, periodontal pocket formation, alveolar bone resorption, tooth loosening, displacement and even loss, whether light, moderate or severe periodontitis, supragingival scaling, subgingival scaling and root surface leveling are needed to thoroughly remove plaque and dental stones in the gingival margin area and periodontal pocket, eliminate inflammation and terminate alveolar bone resorption. These are the basic links and basic steps of periodontitis treatment. After basic treatment, mild periodontitis can be well controlled, but moderate and severe periodontitis may also require periodontal surgery and auxiliary treatment such as restoration and orthodontics. Patients need to carefully maintain periodontal health after systematic treatment, and regular reexamination and professional maintenance to prevent recurrence of periodontitis.
