" It is the science that deals with hereditary or acquired gum diseases."
Treatments of connective tissue diseases, which surround the teeth in the oral cavity, cover the jawbone, and act as a shock absorber between the tooth and the jawbone, which ensures that the teeth are fully held in the jaw, are applied by periodontologists.
Hereditary features are found in very few gingival diseases. These are the thickness of the gingival tissue, the thickness of the jaw bones, the calcium and mineral balances, the wrong attachment areas of the gums to the palate, and the gingival symptoms of hereditary diseases from the family.
Generally, this disease is caused by the individual's lack of ideal tooth brushing habit, the dentist's failure to go to periodic controls, and the resulting decayed teeth, wrong fillings and incompatible prostheses, as well as incorrect or excessive use of systemic drugs. Gingival recessions caused by incorrect tooth brushing and patients' ignoring and neglecting gingival bleeding during tooth brushing and neglecting to apply to the dentist also drags the picture to a worse situation.
1. Gum bleeding
2. Gum growth and color changes
3. Gingival recessions
4. Melting in the jawbone that supports the teeth with gingival recessions
4. Melting in the jawbone that supports the teeth with gingival recessions
6. Excessive bad breath
Gingival and bone loss in individuals with these symptoms makes it difficult to make prostheses and implants. Gum diseases can be combined with oral infections and threaten the general health of the person. In blood urinalysis, inflammation changes the leukocyte count and ASO values.
Gum diseases at a rate of 80-85% in heart, blood pressure, atherosclerosis, diabetes, joint diseases and kidney diseases are very important findings. In this sense, it is very important not to neglect and treat gum diseases.
