Improving the Effectiveness of Treatment of Pulp Lesions in Patients with Chronic Periodontitis

Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease affecting the periodontal tissues. In dentistry, there is another disease with a similar name - periodontal disease. It is characterized by the same changes, but they develop without an accompanying inflammatory process. Periodontal tissues include the gums, blood vessels, ligaments, and bone. All these structures firmly fix the teeth and ensure their normal nutrition. With the development of the inflammatory process, these functions are disturbed, which leads to the appearance of specific symptoms. The main risk of periodontitis, like periodontal disease, is the development with subsequent loss of tooth mobility. Therefore, both diseases require early diagnosis and effective treatment.
