Periodontal disease or periodontitis (incorrectly: periodontosis) is now considered a widespread disease, affecting almost 40% of people. Periodontal disease (periodontitis) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the stable fixation of teeth in the jawbone. Measuring the depth of the sachet and the bone level is essential for the diagnosis of periodontitis.
The examination is carried out by periodontic specialists or periodontal probe: at six points beside each tooth, the depth of the sachet to millimeter-level precision. In a healthy periodontium, the depth of the sachet shall not exceed 3 mm, but if this depth exceeds 4 mm, a dental disease is suspected.
In our clinic, we use the internationally approved standards-based system to record the examination of the periodontium.
