Periodontal status is an advanced check-up of the gums and all periodontal tissues. This comprehensive diagnostics is performed by multiple specialists using modern technology, providing a precise picture of your oral health.

The result of the examination is a visual chart of your periodontal status. Based on this data, the doctors at Doctor Dent in Astana develop a personalized gum treatment plan and select effective dental services to restore periodontal health.

Our clinic features a team of specialists for gum disease treatment: periodontists, hygienists, and surgeons. The first step is a consultation with a periodontist, who determines the scope of diagnostics and treatment.

• Modern Standards of Treatment
  We provide periodontal services according to international protocols and the principles of evidence-based dentistry.
• Professional Hygiene via the GBT Protocol
  We apply the Swiss GBT protocol—one of the most effective methods for removing dental plaque and tartar.
• Working with Magnification
  We use microscopes and binoculars for accurate diagnostics and gentle gum treatment.
• Atraumatic Technologies
  We select delicate methods to ensure the treatment is as comfortable as possible.
• Surgical Services when Necessary
  If conservative therapy is insufficient, we offer surgical treatment for periodontitis.
• Comprehensive Support
  We guide the patient to stable remission and provide training in proper home hygiene with a selection of individual care products.

Determining the periodontal status is a comprehensive diagnostic process conducted by a periodontist (initial status) and a hygienist (follow-up control). It is a detailed examination of the oral system, resulting in a comprehensive map of the condition of the gums and surrounding tissues.

You will learn:

• The condition of the gums, bone tissue, and ligaments for each tooth;
• The localization and volume of dental plaque (supra- and subgingival);
• The bleeding score;
• Areas requiring improved home care;
• The presence or absence of periodontal pockets;
• Which individual hygiene tools are right for you.

At Doctor Dent, we use a digital data recording system, as well as X-ray diagnostics and CBCT with analysis via the 3D Dental AI platform. This allows for an accurate assessment of changes in bone and soft tissue to create a personalized gum treatment plan.

The initial assessment is conducted by a periodontist following professional oral hygiene and, if necessary, closed curettage.

Stages of the examination:

1. Photo Protocol: Photographs of the oral cavity are taken before, during, and after treatment to visualize the problem, track progress, and objectively evaluate the result.
2. Periodontal Probing: Measuring the depth of pockets and calculating specific indices for an accurate diagnosis.
3. Periodontal Chart Review: The doctor demonstrates the tissue condition to the patient and explains which zones require treatment or enhanced hygiene.
4. Individual Care Selection: Brushes, interdental brushes, floss, and other tools are prescribed based on the patient’s needs.
5. Treatment Plan Development: A schedule for gum treatment and supportive visits is established.
6. Specialist Consultations: If necessary, the patient is referred to a restorative dentist, surgeon, prosthodontist, or orthodontist.

A follow-up assessment is conducted 3 months after the initial treatment—during the maintenance therapy stage with a hygienist.

Stages of follow-up assessment:

1. Photo Protocol: Comparing images to evaluate treatment progress and the quality of home care.
2. Repeated Probing: Measuring pocket depths and demonstrating changes in the periodontal chart.
3. Treatment Plan Adjustment: If necessary, the visit schedule is adjusted, and new individual hygiene tools are selected.
