Gingival Deseases
​
Gums and surrounding tissues (periodonsium) are of vital importance in dental health.
​
Periodontal tissues surround the tooth root and supply.
​
Gum infections (gingivitis and periodontitis) usually progress painlessly and may not be noticed by the patient.
​
Gingival recessions can be caused by chronic gingivitis, periodontitis, bruxism, poorly made porcelain or zirconium crowns, incorrect tooth brushing, incomplete tooth brushing.
​
Gingival recession and reduction of the supporting tissues of the teeth can cause tooth loss.

Treatment
​
The primary treatment in infective gingival diseases is the removal of calculus and inflammatory gingival tissues, which are called detertrage and curettage.
​
The treatment can be completed in a single session and may require several sessions.
​
Gingiva responds quickly to treatment. After treatment, the infection quickly regresses if the patient has a good oral hygiene.
​
There are many surgical treatment options to restore gum tissue caused by gingival recessions.
