What is closed curettage? It is a non-surgical subgingival treatment of tooth roots, involving the removal of bacterial plaque and hard deposits. The procedure is considered the gold standard for treating periodontal diseases, including periodontitis. Closed curettage is aimed not only at reducing symptoms but also at eliminating the cause of inflammation.

At the Doctor Dent clinic in Astana, gum treatment services are performed by experienced periodontists. We conduct the procedure carefully, utilizing modern equipment and advanced technologies.

The procedure is carried out after professional oral hygiene and the removal of supragingival deposits. We use a modern professional cleaning protocol that ensures effective removal of plaque and tartar.

Next, the dentist administers local anesthesia and gently removes subgingival deposits using fine instruments and ultrasound.

For deep treatment, the Perio-Flow device is used, allowing for the cleaning of periodontal pockets up to 10 mm deep.

Following the treatment, the patient receives home care recommendations and is invited for a follow-up examination.

Closed curettage (non-surgical periodontal treatment) is a comprehensive cleaning of periodontal pockets: removal of subgingival deposits, antiseptic treatment, and the smoothing and polishing of the tooth root surface.

The procedure is performed for chronic periodontitis, both during flare-ups and in remission, if pathological pockets and subgingival deposits are detected.

Today, closed curettage is the benchmark dental service for treating periodontal diseases, as it targets the source of infection and prevents bone tissue destruction.

The procedure can be performed on one, several, or all teeth and includes the following stages:

• Assessment of home hygiene quality and photo documentation (photo protocol) before treatment;
• Local anesthesia of the intervention area;
• Removal of surface plaque;
• Removal of subgingival hard deposits using ultrasound and curettes under magnification;
• Cleaning of periodontal pockets and smoothing the root surface using the Perio-Flow device (up to 10 mm depth);
• Antiseptic treatment of the pockets;
• Post-procedure photo control;
• Application of a periodontal dressing, if necessary;
• Individual care recommendations.

After the dental service is provided, the doctor explains how to properly care for the gums during the recovery period.

After the procedure, a slight increase in tooth sensitivity and minor discomfort may occur, which usually resolve quickly. It is crucial to follow the doctor’s recommendations, maintain thorough hygiene, and attend follow-up check-ups.

Periodontitis treatment services at the Doctor Dent clinic in Astana are focused on preserving teeth, eliminating inflammation, and restoring gum health.
