Supportive Periodontal Treatment

You have completed your treatment and your gums are healthy! The most important thing now is to maintain the results and detect the first signs of recurrence in a timely manner. At the Doctor Dent clinic in Astana, we provide supportive periodontal treatment for this very purpose.

Patients visit for a check-up every 3–4 months. During the appointment, the doctor assesses the condition of the gums, performs professional hygiene, and, if necessary, prescribes additional procedures.

Our team of periodontists specializes in gum diseases. We work quickly, carefully, and professionally, applying a comprehensive approach involving a dental hygienist and, if required, an oral surgeon.

1. Professional Hygiene via the Swiss GBT Protocol
   Effective removal of supragingival dental deposits to prevent a recurrence of the disease.
2. Closed Curettage
   Thorough removal of subgingival deposits with root treatment using ultrasound and the finest curettes.
3. Modern Equipment
   We use Swiss instruments and the finest powder, which is safe for both enamel and gums.
4. Working with Magnification
   Microscopes or binoculars allow us to see even minimal deposits and perform gentle treatment.
5. Correction of Home Care
   We teach proper tooth-brushing techniques and select personalized hygiene products.

The primary goal is to maintain the treatment results and prevent flare-ups of periodontitis.
Regular check-ups every 3–4 months allow us to:

• Maintain periodontal cleanliness in areas where pathological pockets were previously located;
• Identify plaque and tartar buildup in formerly problematic zones;
• Combine the examination with supportive professional hygiene (professional cleaning + curettage);
• Monitor the effectiveness of previous treatments.

For precision and a delicate approach, doctors use a microscope or binoculars, which helps identify even minimal subgingival deposits and prevent a relapse.

Stages of the procedure:

1. Home Hygiene Monitoring: The hygienist assesses current care and takes photographs (photo protocol) before the procedure.
2. Plaque Staining: Identifying areas that are difficult to clean. Adjusting the set of individual hygiene products.
3. Ultrasonic Tartar Removal: Removing hard dental deposits using ultrasound.
4. Air-Flow Treatment: Removing pigmented plaque with the Air-Flow system.
5. Perio-Flow Polishing: Smoothing and polishing the tooth roots with the Perio-Flow device.
6. Polishing: Final cleaning of the teeth with brushes and pastes.
7. Antiseptic Treatment: Rinsing the oral cavity with antiseptic solutions.
8. Re-evaluation of Periodontal Status: If pathological pockets or subgingival deposits are found, the patient is referred to a periodontist for further examination and treatment.
9. Post-Procedure Photo Documentation: Evaluating the result with photos.
