Periodontal pocket formation

Introduction Periodontitis is a chronic inflammation that invades the gums and periodontal tissues. It is a devastating disease. Its main features are the formation of periodontal pockets and inflammation of the wall of the bag, the absorption of alveolar bone and the loosening of teeth. It is the cause of adults. The main cause of tooth loss.

Cause

The cause of periodontal pocket formation

Due to the characteristics of the underlying micro-ecological environment, a large number of highly toxic periodontal pathogens, such as gingival bacillus, intermediate bacillus, spirochetes, etc., are caused in the underarm plaque, which causes the inflammation of the gums to be aggravated and extended, resulting in Periodontal pocket formation and alveolar bone resorption, causing periodontitis.

Inspection of periodontal pocket formation

The symptoms of periodontitis are mainly characterized by redness and bleeding of the gums, not only bleeding during brushing, but also bleeding when talking or biting hard objects, and occasionally spontaneous blood. The gums are dark red and appear brighter due to edema. Healthy gums use force to brush your teeth or gently explore the sulcus without causing bleeding. In the early stage and early stage of phlegm, the sulcus can be used to bleed. It appears earlier than the change in gum color and is more objective. Therefore, bleeding can be used as an important indicator for the diagnosis of inflammation of the gums. And the formation of periodontal pockets.

Differential diagnosis

Periodontal pockets form confusing symptoms

Hard tissue resembling teeth in the jaw: common in dental tumors, odontogenic tumors, growing in the jawbone, formed by abnormal development of one or more tooth germ tissues, which can contain various developmental stages. The number of tooth germ tissue or teeth varies from one to several tens of, and the shape may be irregular. It may resemble a normal tooth or may have no shape of a tooth. It is composed of a disordered hard tissue and is surrounded by a fibrous membrane. Under the microscope, there are irregular enamel, dentin and cementum.

Alveolar process: The lesion begins to destroy the bone from the alveolar process. In severe cases, the teeth are completely buried in the soft tissue, the teeth loose, fall off, and the bleeding of the gums presents a 'floating' sign. Some bone destruction is extensive, the edges are blurred, similar to changes in malignant tumors.

Swelling of the gums: The gums are swollen and swollen, and generally accompanied by pain.

1, stomach fire Sheng: Zheng see gum swelling and pain, suffering from swelling of the cheeks, and even can not chew, local burning, mouth bitter bad breath, constipation, red tongue yellow.

2, kidney yin deficiency, virtual fire on the inflammation: the symptoms of the gums are slightly swollen, reddish, dull pain, tooth shake is not solid, or both have blood, no special.

Gingival swelling: mainly caused by local inflammation, mechanical damage and vitamin C deficiency, which is the root pain of the teeth, and the surrounding tooth is swollen.

Itching of the gums: Exfoliative gingivitis is a syndrome that is often accompanied by oral moss or pemphigus. Typical symptoms of pulpitis are bleeding gums and gingivitis.
