Dental Curettage at BLASI Dental Clinic Barcelona: Your Solution Against Periodontal Disease

At BLASI Dental Clinic Barcelona, specialists in periodontics and leaders in cutting-edge treatments for oral health, we are committed to the well-being of your gums. Today, we bring you closer to the world of dental curettage, an essential procedure to combat gum disease, a condition that affects the majority of the population and represents the main cause of dental loss worldwide, according to the Spanish Society of Periodontology and Osseointegration (SEPA).

Understanding Gum Disease

Gum disease begins with the accumulation of bacterial plaque, a compound of bacteria and saliva that solidifies and adheres to the teeth and the subgingival area, causing everything from cavities to the degradation of bone tissue and gums. This pathology manifests in two phases: gingivitis, marked by inflammation and bleeding of the gums, and periodontitis, which involves bone loss, gum retraction, bad breath, and dental mobility.

Dental Curettage: The Answer to Periodontal Disease

Curettage, or scaling and root planing, is a treatment aimed at eliminating bacterial plaque located below the gum line, preventing bone loss. At BLASI Dental Clinic Barcelona, before proceeding, we perform a periodontogram to determine the depth of bacteria in each tooth, ensuring a tailored treatment.

With the help of cutting-edge technology like Airflow Prophylaxis Master, we eliminate bacterial plaque effectively, guaranteeing a less invasive and more comfortable process for the patient. This technological advance, combined with the experience of our periodontists, allows us to precisely address each case.

Indications for Dental Curettage

The need for curettage arises when we detect bacterial plaque between two and five millimeters in depth. A precise evaluation using a periodontal probe and the periodontogram are crucial to determining the appropriate treatment, always focused on prevention and exhaustive care of the gums.

Results and Post-Curettage Maintenance

After curettage, the gums require approximately 6 weeks to adhere again to the dental structure. During this period, it is vital to follow the periodontist’s recommendations to ensure optimal recovery and avoid future treatments. The key to keeping periodontal disease under control is adherence to good oral hygiene habits and regular visits to the clinic.
