    Periodontal curettage: It is a method for professional periodontists to use special periodontal instruments to scrape off periodontal lesion tissues.

    Through **, the diseased periodontal tissue can be removed and the periodontal ligament can be obtained"Rebirth", gingiva, alveolar bone, etc. can grow tightly with the periodontal ligament again; At the same time, the sick periodontal pocket is eliminated to prevent further recession of gum tissue, further absorption of alveolar bone, and prevention of tooth loosening or even loss.

    Scaling: Removing plaque, tartar, and some staining of the tooth surface that other oral cleaning measures such as brushing cannot remove. Scaling can also maintain periodontal tissue health and prevent periodontal disease from occurring.

    The principle of scaling is to use ultrasonic high-frequency vibration to loosen the calculus. Therefore, it does not damage teeth and gums. Dental experts recommend regular teeth cleaning every six months to a year.

    Difference Between Scaling and Periodontal Scaling:

    Scaling"Namely"Supragingival cleaning", while"Periodontal curettage"Primarily, it refers to:"Subgingival scraping"。If there is only calculus on the gums, and there is no alveolar bone resorption or plaque gingivitis, only regular ultrasound cleaning is required every six months. Required if calculus, deep periodontal pockets, or signs of alveolar bone resorption are present under the gums"Subgingival scraping"。

    Thank you! The first step of periodontal ** is to do supragingival cleaning first, in doing subgingival scaling, supragingival cleaning is to say teeth cleaning, if it is just a simple tooth cleaning, it proves that it is not particularly serious, not to the point of periodontal disease, but to the point of gingivitis, once it reaches the point of doing periodontal **, it is serious, and the teeth begin to loosen.

    "Yikes! Bleeding gums! "Many people know that they should have their teeth cleaned when they have this situation, and bleeding gums are a sign of periodontal disease caused by dental calculus. But some friends went to clean their teeth, but the dentist asked the subgingival scraping to cure ......What is the difference between scaling and scaling?

    Scaling, commonly known as scaling, is a professional term supragingival scaling, which refers to the removal of tartar, plaque and stains from the gums with cleaning instruments, and polishing the tooth surface to delay the redeposition of plaque and tartar. Subgingival scaling is to remove calculus and plaque hidden deep under the gums to restore periodontal health to a certain extent. In other words, subgingival scaling is a deeper way to clean your teeth than scaling!

    So, under what circumstances is subgingival scaling done? When to clean your teeth?

    Teeth cleaning, the dentist's recommendation is to wash regularly every year, 1 2 times; The same is true for subgingival scaling, which is generally not recommended for normal and healthy teeth (without periodontal disease).

    Subgingival scaling is a basic method for all types of periodontal disease. Subgingival scaling is recommended when calculus has accumulated under the gums, or when severe gingivitis or periodontitis has developed.

    When plaque adheres to the gums and cannot be removed by scaling, if it is not cleaned in time, the bacteria will invade the root of the tooth more and the alveolar bone will be absorbed, and the tooth will loosen and fall out soon after. Therefore, when it is time to do curettage, it must be curettage.

    Does subgingival scraping hurt? Do you have anesthetics?

    It seems that as long as the teeth are involved**, the first question that comes to many people's minds is "Does it hurt?" In fact, if there is obvious pain in the process of teeth, anesthetic medicine will generally be given in advance, and the process is generally painful.

    In addition, anyone who has had their teeth cleaned knows that it doesn't hurt to clean their teeth, and they don't need to be anesthetic. However, some people may experience discomfort such as soreness and slight pain during the process, which are almost negligible.

    For subgingival scaling, if the periodontal pocket is already very deep, it is recommended to use anesthetic, otherwise you can really only cry while treating.

    Both thoughRemoves plaque and calculus, which in turn eliminates inflammation, but there is a big difference between the two.

    Scaling, also known as supragingival cleaning, refers to the use of cleaning instruments to remove visible calculus, plaque and stains above the gums, and polish the tooth surface to delay the redeposition of plaque and tartar. Teeth cleaning generally does not cause significant discomfort and does not require anesthetics.

    Subgingival scaling is used to remove stones and plaque that are deep under the gums and cannot be washed off by ordinary scaling. Plaque and stones under the gums, although invisible, are the main cause of periodontitis. They separate the gums from the tooth and go deeper and deeper to the root of the tooth, constantly attacking the periodontal support system, which may eventually lead to gum recession, alveolar bone resorption, and weakened support around the tooth to loosen, displace, or even fall out!

    A common method of subgingival scaling is manual curettage performed by a doctor with special instruments. The technical requirements are very high, and it is necessary to find a professional doctor to operate.

    Subgingival scaling is a debridement process that involves scraping off plaque stones and some inflamed soft tissues from the periodontal pockets, so there may be pain and significant bleeding during the process. Anesthetic can be injected before curettage, and after curettage, it is necessary to disinfect and sterilize in the periodontal bag, if the bacteria are not eliminated, periodontitis is very easy**.

    Considering the limited effect of the drug application and the discomfort of the patient, there is now a more ideal way, laser. Subgingival scaling combined with laser periodontal bag sterilization, the periodontal bag is sterilized with a laser after scaling, the thermal effect of the laser can directly kill the bacteria, there will be no disadvantages of drug resistance, the sterilization is cleaner, and the risk of periodontitis is effectively reduced. Lasers also have the effect of stopping bleeding and promoting tissue repair and healing.

    Because the plaque in some parts of the tooth is not easy to remove, daily simple oral health care is not enough to maintain periodontal health, and the plaque and calculus in the oral cavity will continue to form, so it is very necessary to clean the teeth regularly to remove calculus, generally 1 or 2 times a year. Subgingival scaling does not need to be done regularly, as long as the plaque is well controlled, the periodontal will remain healthy. However, considering the high quality of periodontitis, it is necessary to go for regular reexamination after curettage.

    Periodontal scaling is the process of scraping off the lesions of the root surface of the tooth, the cementum and the calculus and plaque in the periodontal pocket. Once gum disease is present, the periodontal pocket will slowly deepen and the calculus will slowly accumulate under the gums.

    The difference between scaling and periodontal scraping, in simple terms, scaling is to remove calculus attached to the teeth and gum surface and the superficial part of the gum; When there is calculus under the gums, it can no longer be completely removed by conventional scaling, and periodontal scaling is required to clean the dirt in the periodontal pocket.

    Hello, of course, scaling and periodontal scaling are not the same, the medical term for scaling is supragingival cleaning, which is the cleaning of the tooth surface above the gums; Periodontal scaling generally refers to subgingival cleaning, and there is calculus between the teeth and the gums, and the scaling cannot be removed at this time, so periodontal scaling is required.

    People commonly call it "teeth cleaning", and the medical term is called "clean treatment". The so-called "clean" is to remove the bacteria, tartar, pigment and other tartar on the tooth surface; And "treatment" means that it is one of the basic methods of periodontal disease. Gingivitis and periodontitis can be reduced by scaling, but periodontal disease cannot be achieved by simply scaling.

    Advantage. As we all know, tooth decay (i.e., tooth decay) and periodontal disease (often manifested as tooth brushing bleeding, loose tooth loss, etc.) are the two main oral diseases that plague humans, both of which are mainly caused by plaque bacteria.

    Because many people do not practice good oral hygiene habits and do not brush their teeth in the morning and evening or in the correct way, food debris in the mouth and the inherent microflora in the mouth will combine and form plaque on the surface of the teeth. If not cleaned in time, plaque will combine with calcium and phosphorus ions in human saliva to calcify into tartar, which is the main culprit of most toothaches, bad breath, bleeding gums, loose teeth, etc. Brushing is powerless for plaque and tartar that have already formed.

    The main purpose of periodontal cleaning (that is, people often say tooth cleaning) is to remove plaque, tartar and pigment deposited on the tooth surface at the junction between the teeth and the gums, so as to remove the local *** element, so that the gum damage stops the development and returns to a relatively healthy state.

    Scaling not only maintains oral hygiene, but also removes dirt from the surface of the teeth and restores the natural color of the teeth. However, it should be noted that scaling is different from bleaching in that it does not remove the pigment from the inside of the tooth, and does not really whiten the tooth.

    In fact, the ultrasound cleaning head used in scaling does not have any cutting function, it is the high-frequency vibration of ultrasound to break up the tartar, and the doctor has to constantly move the working head during the operation, and there is no pressure, just gently touching the tartar, so that the teeth will not be damaged. However, if the operation is not done properly, such as pressurization or staying on the tooth surface for too long, it will leave small scratches on the tooth surface, and the fine rough surface can be seen under the microscope, and this scratch can be compensated by polishing.
