Periodontitis Treatment in Odontoespecialistas
About the clinic
Periodontitis care at Odontoespecialistas in Medellín, Colombia, includes diagnosis, non-surgical treatment, and gum surgery. The center has over 20 years of experience and has treated 20,000+ patients; Dr. Carolina Gallego handles periodontics and implantology cases.
Diagnosis and treatment options
Periodontal disease can progress without clear signs, so specialists assess local and systemic factors. Diagnostic options include:
- Local and systemic periodontal diagnosis. The assessment checks gum health and factors affecting the body.
- Panoramic X-rays. These images show the teeth and surrounding structures.
- Periapical X-rays. These images focus on individual teeth and nearby structures.
- DIAGNOCam cavity detection. This test checks for cavities without ionizing radiation.
Treatment options address deposits above and below the gumline, as well as gum and bone defects:
- Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing). Removes plaque and tartar from periodontal pockets.
- Ultrasonic cleaning. Uses ultrasound to remove deposits from teeth and roots.
- Subgingival scaling. Removes tartar below the gumline.
- Supragingival scaling. Removes tartar above the gumline.
- Prophylaxis. Professional cleaning with polishing supports prevention.
- Spa-type dental cleaning. Combines prophylaxis, scaling above and below the gumline, and oral hygiene instruction.
- Minor periodontal surgery. Treats localized gum and bone defects.
- Major periodontal surgery. Addresses advanced gum and bone disease.
- Oral hygiene instruction. Supports home care and helps reduce recurrence.
Nitrous oxide inhalation sedation is available for patients who feel anxious during periodontal procedures. Periodic maintenance visits are recommended to help control gum and bone disease. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed.
