Laser periodontology

World-class procedures for long-term recovery

A periodontológiai kezelésre abban az esetben van szükség, The gums are inflamed, diseased. Although several dental practices deal with inflammatory diseases of the tissues surrounding the teeth caused by bacteria, In Hungary, Naturadent is the only provider using such an innovative procedure in the field of laser periodontology, developed by experts from the world-renowned RWTH Aachen University in Germany.

Our advanced laser treatments can even kill aggressive bacteria in the periodontal bed that even the strongest antibiotics are ineffective against. 

For periodontal treatment, it is crucial to start the treatment process tailored to your condition as soon as possible. This may be a lightning-fast laser pocket cleaning and plaque removal, but in severe cases, our innovative 2-phase treatment series over a 1-year interval may be necessary to save your teeth and ensure uncompromised long-term healing.

At Naturadent's Váci Street practice, we offer open curettage, flap pouch surgery, recession surgery, flap advancement surgery, and the most modern gingival augmentation and thickening procedures using the tunnel technique, among others. This allows you to regain both the health of your teeth and the beauty of your gums.

3 stages, 3 solutions, 3 pieces of good news – Our relevant treatments in more detail

In our 30-minute, painless assessment, we will determine which of the possible periodontal stages you may have, based on the panoramic x-rays taken and a comprehensive examination of your gums and teeth. A detailed treatment plan will be drawn up, which will include, in addition to the necessary treatments, a personalised dental consultation with a precise price quotation.

• The easiest and fastest to treat condition is gingivitis (stage 1). In this case, our specialist will begin the treatment with a laser disinfection of all teeth. Once the majority of pathogens found in the space between the gum and the tooth (pocket) have been eliminated, a thorough scale and polish will be carried out.Good news is that we also place great emphasis on prevention: after your treatment, our expert will provide dental hygiene advice to help you care for your teeth and gums as effectively as possible.
• In the early stages of gum disease (stage 2) Even subgingival (below the gum line) tartar can irritate the gums and endanger the integrity of the surrounding bone. Our experienced dentists perform deep cleaning and laser disinfection using the ultra-modern Biolase Waterlase iPlus device to reduce the number of bacteria penetrating the gums to zero.The good news is that the world's most advanced laser dentistry and laser surgery equipment can treat gums, skin and bone without heat, vibration or pressure, using a combination of YSGG laser wavelength and a water-air spray for cooling. In most cases, no anaesthetic or painkillers are needed.
• For older periodontal disease (stage 3) the bacteria have caused so much bone destruction that your teeth are loose and may fall out without pain or any warning. In our two-phase laser treatment series, we follow the strictest protocols to eliminate large areas of inflammation and restore your teeth and gums to optimal health. This is also thanks to our innovative deep laser cleaning techniques and the germicidal and bactericidal effects of our different wavelength lasers. The first phase consists of a series of 8 treatments, during which we mechanically remove tartar and inflammation from under the gums and disinfect the entire inner and outer surface of the gums surrounding the teeth using a laser. The second phase is a unique procedure, which is necessary to ensure long-term, uncompromised healing, as the bacteria in the gums gradually increase 3-4 months after the first phase of treatment. This must be prevented.The good news is that thanks to Biolase Ezlase/Epic diode laser pocket disinfections, high-power Er,Cr:YSGG laser curettage and our unique professional oral hygiene treatments, we have been able to save the teeth and health of patients who have suffered from cardiovascular problems due to inflammation caused by advanced periodontal disease. 

How does periodontal laser treatment take place?

Periodontology is a continuously developing branch within dentistry, which serves to treat various periodontal diseases and builds upon more complex interventions. Thanks to scientific advancements, laser-assisted periodontology is currently the most modern method for healing all periodontal problems.

The treatment always begins with a thorough assessment of the patient's condition, as their complaints and dentition fundamentally determine the next steps. During the first appointment, alongside a general consultation, pocket charting is essential, for example, as it provides a comprehensive overview of the condition of the teeth and the progression of periodontal disease.

Photographic documentation is also essential, as if periodontal intervention is necessary, there may be more serious conditions, and a complex treatment plan and a series of multi-stage interventions may be required.

Among periodontal laser treatments, you won't only find pocket disinfection. This technology can also be used for procedures such as curettage, laser resection, and even vestibuloplasty. Let's look at these interventions in a bit more detail:

Laser pocket disinfection

Laser disinfection of pockets is required when there is such a build-up of bacteria on the surface of the tooth root that it has already resulted in small cavities, known as pockets.

The lesion can affect a single tooth or the entire dentition. With laser technology, especially its germicidal action, these pockets can be disinfected and thus completely eliminated and cured.

Laser curettage

Laser curettage involves a form of deep laser cleaning, which can be used to destroy the bacteria responsible for tendon inflammation, dead tissue in inflammation and even to heal tissue that is actively inflamed.

It can not only be used to treat existing problems but also has a preventive role, as it can help prevent the development of more severe periodontal diseases.

Laser resection

Laser resection is a periodontal intervention used on premolars where the root tip and root filling can be removed using laser technology. Its significant advantage is that it can minimise pain, bleeding, and other associated discomfort.

Laser vulvoplasty

Laser labiaplasty is necessary if the dental lesion is so severe that it has already had a negative impact on the condition of the gums. Periodontal lasers can be used to restore both health and firmness.

Which dental diseases can be treated with a periodontological laser?

Laser treatment in periodontology has opened up many new avenues in modern dentistry, and many serious lesions can now be treated with this method. Here are the most common ones:

Gingivitis

One of the most common periodontal diseases that is worth treating with laser, in cases where the gums have been sensitive, swollen, reddish in colour, and often bleeding for days, or even weeks. With laser technology, the condition can be healed in as little as a single treatment!

Gumírohadás

If gum recession is left untreated and becomes chronic, gingival recession develops, which can lead to the destruction of gum and bone tissues, and teeth may loosen and fall out. Even more severe conditions can be easily treated with periodontal laser therapy.

Gum recession

Gum recession is typically a symptom of periodontal disease, but it can also occur on its own. When it develops, the crowns of the teeth appear longer, causing a lot of discomfort, sensitivity and pain. However, laser treatment can help to solve this problem.

How does laser treatment help to eliminate periodontal diseases?

Laser technology developed for dental purposes allows laser light to be delivered deep into the pockets that form next to the teeth via a thin fibre, meaning directly to the bacteria and problematic tissues.

The disinfectant action of the laser kills bacteria and diseased tissue, eliminating inflammation. With the help of the laser light, natural regeneration processes are triggered and the gums become firm again, while the undestroyed bone tissue rebuilds itself.

When can periodontal laser treatment be applied?

In all cases where the patient suffers from incipient or severe periodontal disease. It should be noted, however, that for most complex periodontal conditions, it is only a supplementary form of treatment, as in most cases, for example, the tartar removalwill be needed for full recovery.

Further advantages of the treatment are that it can be used in practically all cases, so it does not cause problems even for pregnant women or in cases of diabetes; indeed, in the latter case, this technology is justified and recommended due to its haemostatic effect.

How painful is periodontal laser treatment?

Modern dentistry is built on pain-free treatment in every respect. Periodontological laser treatments are therefore painless; patients may only experience minor discomfort after the anaesthetic begins to wear off.

In addition, periodontal laser treatment involves much less bleeding than traditional methods, the wounds heal completely in a few days, so you can go back to work the next day for almost any job.

How safe is laser periodontal treatment?

Dental laser systems are backed by decades of research and development. In Western countries, lasers have long been used for periodontal treatments, so the latest equipment is completely harmless and has no negative effects on the human body.
