  Periodontitis treatment depends on the severity of the condition. Options include nonsurgical and surgical procedures. Your dentist should refer you to a gum specialist (periodontist) unless your disease is mild. […] Healthcare providers may treat milder cases with nonsurgical procedures or lifestyle changes. These include: Antibiotics. Your dentist may prescribe oral antibiotics to fight infection. Or they may place topical antibiotics under your gums to target the affected area. Oral hygiene instructions. Your dentist and hygienist will review the tools, products and techniques you use to clean your teeth. Scaling and root planing. Your dentist or hygienist will numb your mouth with local anesthesia and clean deep beneath your gums. […] Severe periodontitis usually requires surgery. These treatments include: Osseous surgery. A periodontist makes a cut (incision) along your gum line and temporarily lifts your gums. This allows them to see your teeth roots easily and clean them thoroughly. Your periodontist can smooth your bone to stabilize the periodontal disease. Dental bone grafts. These materials help rebuild your jawbone in areas where you’ve lost bone density. Guided tissue regeneration. A surgeon places a tissue-friendly (biocompatible) membrane between your jawbone and tooth. This membrane keeps unwanted tissue from growing into the area and encourages bone to grow back instead. Gum grafts. This procedure addresses gum recession, which often happens in combination with periodontitis. Gum recession is when you can see too much of your teeth roots. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP). This treatment helps rebuild lost bone or gum tissue. Healthcare providers obtain platelet-rich plasma from a sample of your own blood. […] You can’t cure periodontitis, but you can manage it with treatment. Talk to your dentist or periodontist about a personalized plan.

  A panel of experts convened by the ADA Council on Scientific Affairs presents an evidence-based clinical practice guideline and systematic review on nonsurgical treatment of patients with chronic periodontitis by means of scaling and root planing (SRP) with or without adjuncts. […] For patients with chronic periodontitis, SRP showed a moderate benefit, and the benefits were judged to outweigh potential adverse effects. The authors voted in favor of SRP as the initial nonsurgical treatment for chronic periodontitis. […] Although systemic subantimicrobial-dose doxycycline and systemic antimicrobials showed similar magnitudes of benefits as adjunctive therapies to SRP, they were recommended at different strengths (in favor for systemic subantimicrobial-dose doxycycline and weak for systemic antimicrobials) because of the higher potential for adverse effects with higher doses of antimicrobials.

  Reevaluation is not the end-point of active periodontal therapy; it is part of a decision matrix. Periodontal status should be thoroughly reassessed at 4 weeks to 6 weeks following the nonsurgical phase of treatment, as the greater part of healing is completed by 6 weeks, but collagen maturation might continue for up to 9 months. Post-therapy reevaluation is a critical step in determining the status of gingival inflammation, oral hygiene and healing. […] Achieving long-term periodontal stability requires an effective periodontal maintenance program and patient compliance. Maintenance generally includes a reevaluation to determine the patients periodontal status, evaluation of systemic and local risk factors, supragingival scaling and polishing, scaling and root planing of residual probing depths, particularly those that exhibit bleeding on probing.

  Nonsurgical therapy is considered the gold standard for the initial treatment of inflammatory periodontal disease. Indeed, nonsurgical treatment involving meticulous scaling and root planing has been extensively documented and has been shown to be a highly predictable and successful therapy. The main goals of nonsurgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) are to remove and control supra- and subgingival microbial biofilms, eliminate and control inflammation, and eliminate and control systemic and local risk factors that contribute to disease development and progression. […] Hence, the seven-step protocol described here will enable clinicians to identify and modify local and systemic risk factors, facilitate decisions about the use of systemic or locally delivered antibiotics, and prescribe appropriate oral hygiene measures. However, not all periodontal diseases can be successfully managed with a nonsurgical approach.

  With careful professional assessment and treatment, it is usually possible to completely halt the progress of periodontitis. The key to success is eliminating the bacterial plaque that triggers the disease process and establishing excellent oral-hygiene practices. […] The aim of the oral-hygiene phase of treatment is to reduce the number of bacteria in the mouth and thereby reduce the level of inflammation. […] In some cases, antibiotics are prescribed to deal with active or persistent gum infections that have not responded to oral-hygiene measures. […] In situations with very advanced periodontitis, the deeper gum pockets that remain can generally be successfully reduced only with surgical treatment. […] Another commonly used approach in treating residual periodontal pockets is regenerative periodontal therapy.

  https://www.colgate.com/en-us/oral-health/gum-disease/successful-treatments-for-advanced-periodontal-disease

  Your first step in treating periodontal disease treatment is a conservative, non-surgical approach called scaling and root planing (SRP). A dentist or dental hygienist scrapes and removes the plaque and tartar from your teeth and root surfaces with specialist instruments, then smooths the surfaces. This prevents bacteria from gathering again and helps your gums reattach to the tooth.  […] If you have more severe periodontitis, you probably have questions about getting your teeth clean again and how to fix loose teeth from gum disease. If the gum tissue is not fitting snugly around the tooth after scaling and planing, you may not be able to keep the deep pocket area of your gums clean. This means you’re a candidate for periodontal pocket reduction or flap surgery. […] If you have exposed roots due to gum recession, brought on by gum disease, gum grafts can cover them. Your dental professional takes gum tissue from your palate or another source and uses it to cover the roots of one or more teeth. Covering exposed roots helps reduce sensitivity and protects your roots from decay while stopping further gum recession and bone loss.

  A panel of experts convened by the ADA Council on Scientific Affairs presents an evidence-based clinical practice guideline and systematic review on nonsurgical treatment of patients with chronic periodontitis by means of scaling and root planing (SRP) with or without adjuncts. […] For patients with chronic periodontitis, SRP showed a moderate benefit, and the benefits were judged to outweigh potential adverse effects. The authors voted in favor of SRP as the initial nonsurgical treatment for chronic periodontitis. […] Although systemic subantimicrobial-dose doxycycline and systemic antimicrobials showed similar magnitudes of benefits as adjunctive therapies to SRP, they were recommended at different strengths (in favor for systemic subantimicrobial-dose doxycycline and weak for systemic antimicrobials) because of the higher potential for adverse effects with higher doses of antimicrobials.

  In Laser Periodontal Therapy, a laser is used to provide access to the pocket area and then ultrasonic and hand instruments are incorporated to treat the root surfaces. The laser emits short pulses of energy at specific frequencies to remove infected tissue and to kill the bacteria causing the infection. The laser is then used again to complete the debridement process and create blood clotting, which fosters an environment that promotes healing. Incisions and sutures are not required with laser therapy. The laser is extremely safe and recovery time is short and often pain-free.
