■The idea of pocket maintenance
Passing 40 years old , probability of missing tooth caused by periodontitis is statistically rising .
Periodontitis is chronic disease , and once having this , complete cure could be difficult .
Therefore , cleaning of periodontal sulcus where is difficult to be cleaned with toothbrushes should be done periodically in dental clinic .
Concretely in our clinic ,
1. Probing of pocket depth , diagnosis of occlusion , interview of lifestyle and , anamnesis
2.Treatment plan is made based on the result of 1.
3.Removing of dental plaque and tartar which are the main causes of periodontitis
4.Teeth are polished with a special paste so that tartar should not adhere easily
As a consequence of this process , the periodontal disease could be cured , but in case of the remaining of periodontal pocket , a periodical maintenance of the periodontal disease in dental clinic would be indispensable.
Maintenance schedule will be planned by the extent of periodontal disease , the condition of brushing , and your opinion .
We recommend every 3 months visit basically , but maintenance program would vary from every month to half a year , thinking highly of your request .
If you have foul breath ,
discomfort in mouth , bleeding or swelling of gum , tooth mobility ,
please don`t hesitate and consult with us .
■GTR metohods
Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) is a procedure that enables bone and tissue to re-grow around an endangered tooth.During GTR therapy (for teeth) the soft (gum) tissue is surgically separated from the endangered tooth and the tooth surface is thoroughly cleaned and infected tissues are removed from the area. After cleaning a small piece of material called a GTR membrane is placed against the tooth. This GTR membrane serves as a barrier that separates fast-growing soft (gum) tissue from the newly cleaned surface of the tooth root. The membrane enables slower-growing fibers and bone cells to migrate into the protected area.
GTR methods enable teeth not to be looked long compared with conventional methods .

■Periodontal Plastic Surgery
To improve the prediction of GTR methods , bone graft and EMDOGAIN can be used together.
Furthermore, the newest technique such as gum transplantation , or gingivoplasty can be used freely for aesthetic and functional recovery .
■Autogenous Tooth Transplantation
Autogenous tooth transplantation is the surgical movement of a tooth from one location in the mouth to another in the same individual. Once thought to be experimental, autotransplantation has achieved high success rates and is an excellent option for tooth replacement .
