Yozgat Bozok University - Oral and Dental Health Hospital

Periodontology is a specialty that focuses on maintaining the health of tissues supporting the teeth (gums and jawbone), as well as diagnosing and treating their diseases. Gum inflammation (gingivitis), advanced gum diseases (periodontitis), and gingival recession are the primary fields of study for this department. If left untreated, gum diseases can lead to tooth loss and resorption of the jawbone. Periodontists utilize treatment methods such as scaling, root planing, periodontal surgeries, and bone grafting procedures in advanced periodontitis cases. Additionally, cosmetic procedures performed for gum aesthetics, such as gingivectomy and gingival grafts, also fall within the scope of this field. Because gum diseases can also impact overall health, periodontology plays a vital role in controlling systemic diseases as well.
