“Gum diseases or periodontal diseases”, which are the most common oral diseases in the world, are manifested by bleeding, swelling, oral tissue, gingival recession and sometimes pain in the gingiva around the natural tooth and implant, and may result in tooth wobble and tooth/implant loss in the future.
The basis of gingival diseases is bacterial plaque, which is formed by the accumulation of food residues due to incorrect / insufficient brushing around the teeth and implants. In addition to bacterial plaque, smoking, uncontrolled diabetes and genetic predisposition also have effects on the onset and progression of gingival diseases.
It has been stated in many studies that gingival diseases, which is one of the most important oral health problems, affect the whole body through blood circulation and pose a risk for systemic conditions such as heart diseases, premature birth and even low birth weight. In this sense, the treatment of gum diseases also contributes to body health.
