Periodontitis is an inflammatory process affecting the area around the tooth root tip and the surrounding tissues. Most often, it develops as a complication of untreated cavities. The infection gradually destroys the enamel and dentin, reaches the pulp, and then spreads beyond the root, affecting the bone tissue.

If periodontitis treatment is not started in time, the consequences can be severe: bone tissue destruction, tooth loss, spread of infection, and general systemic toxicity.

That is why it is crucial to visit a modern dental clinic in Astana that offers a full range of dental services: experienced doctors, microscope-assisted treatment, 3D Dental diagnostics, and digital technologies for precise results.

• Our restorative dentists specialize in complex clinical cases and do everything possible to save your tooth.
• Periodontitis treatment is performed according to international standards: using a rubber dam and a dental microscope for maximum precision and safety.
• For diagnostics, we use 3D Dental tomography, which allows us to accurately locate the source of inflammation and plan the most effective treatment strategy.
• After the treatment is complete, our prosthodontists perform aesthetic and functional tooth restoration using ceramic inlays or crowns.

The main cause of periodontitis is delayed treatment of cavities or pulpitis. When the pulp can no longer perform its protective function, bacteria penetrate beyond the tooth root tip and cause tissue inflammation.

Tooth trauma, especially repetitive trauma (common in athletes like boxers or hockey players), can also trigger periodontitis. Additionally, poor-quality or incomplete previous dental work can lead to complications and inflammatory processes.

Periodontitis can occur in both acute and chronic forms.

In the acute stage, patients often experience the sensation of a “grown tooth” due to increased pressure in the tissues. The pain gradually intensifies, becoming an ache or a throbbing sensation, and becomes painful when biting or touching the tooth. Swelling of the gums, cheek, or lip, and a fever may also occur.

Treatment should not be delayed. The chronic form is dangerous because the source of infection may remain hidden for a long time, but can trigger acute purulent inflammation—such as phlegmon or sepsis—during times of stress, cold, or weakened immunity. One of the most serious complications is osteomyelitis of the jaw, a necrotic process requiring emergency medical intervention.

Treatment is performed in stages and may require several visits to our Astana clinic.

1. Cleaning: The doctor performs mechanical and medicinal processing of the root canals, removing infected tissues.
2. Medication: Anti-inflammatory and antibacterial drugs are placed into the canals. If necessary, the medication is replaced until the inflammation is completely resolved.
3. Preservation: Our main goal is to save the tooth. Once the inflammation is suppressed, the root canals are thoroughly processed and sealed.
4. Restoration: Finally, the crown part of the tooth is restored. We recommend strengthening the tooth with a ceramic inlay or a crown to ensure durability, aesthetics, and long-lasting results.
