Periodontist 1 article

Periodontist is a dental specialist concerned with diseases and conditions affecting the gingiva, periodontal attachment and supporting bone, as well as tissues around dental implants. Specialist care can include complex diagnosis, non-surgical periodontal therapy, regenerative surgery, mucogingival procedures and management of peri-implant disease. The role is distinguished by advanced treatment of supporting tissues rather than routine prophylaxis alone, with long-term maintenance and control of systemic or behavioral risk factors remaining important.
