It is urgent to start the treatment of bone filling in the jaws (upper - 70% and lower - 40%). The consequences are various, such as: optic nerves, stomach (deficit chewing) and will even affect weight and muscle mass.
Chronic periodontitis is a bacterial infection that arises as a result of the progression of a previous state of gingivitis, untreated or poorly treated, progressing more or less slowly. Chronic periodontitis is characterized by a slow or moderate loss of alveolar bone , predominantly in the horizontal direction. Chronic periodontitis is one of the most common types of periodontitis. Chronic periodontitis can be localized, affecting only certain areas, or generalized. It is more frequent in adults, but it can also be seen in children (infantile periodontitis) and its etiology is usually associated with the presence of tartar (“stone in the teeth”). As for its severity, it depends on the degree of progression already reached, and consequent destruction of the support tissue, which can go from 1 to 2 mm or be already greater than 5 mm.
The tooth is divided between crown and root, and is structured based on the bone that constitutes it. When talking about bone loss, what is at stake is the resistance of such tissue, which is weakened. The fact is that the wear comes from the moment when there is a dysfunction in the tissue of the mouth, compromising the bone that is around the teeth.
After the necessary exams for the best treatment, the option of bone filling in the upper jaw remains, as it was suddenly 70%
