|
As adults, let's prevent and treat cavities and periodontal disease to
keep our teeth healthy.
At our clinic, we can treat most periodontal diseases.
Therefore, we make it possible for everyone to eat with their own teeth
for a lifetime.
|
|
|
And periodontal disease
A.Periodontal disease(gum disease) will cause losing teeth
|
|
|
Periodontal disease is infectious disease caused by plaque between tooth
and gum. Gum and alveolar bone will be eroded away.
If it becomes severe, you lose your teeth, possibly.
Gingivitis and periodontitis are periodontal disease.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.Healthy condition
|
|
It is composed of cementum, gum, alveolar bone, periodontal ligament(it
is fiber connect tooth and alveolar bone).
There is gingivitis sulcus between tooth and gum.
If you have health teeth, gingivitis sulcus is about from 0.5mm to 2mm.
And gum sticks to teeth tightly.
|
|
 |
|
|
2.Gingivitis
|
|
Plaque gather between tooth and gum and gum is swollen. Gingivitis sulcus
become deeper and there is gingival pocket.
|
|
 |
|
|
3.Slight periodontitis
|
|
Plaque and dental culculus stick to gingival pocket. Gum’s inflammation
get worse and alveolar bone start to melt. So, gingival pocket become deeper.
Gum get down and most people find them when they brushing.
|
|
 |
|
|
4.Moderate periodontitis
|
|
Gingival pocket gets deeper and alveolar bone melt more and more so, tooth
looks longer and begin to move.
|
|
 |
|
|
5.Heavy periodontitis
|
|
You cannot bite well because of loss of alveolar bone and tooth moving.
Tooth falls out easily and you will have bad breath.

B.Relation with systematic disease
|
|
|
Periodontal disease have relation to not only oral trouble but also systematic
disease. The toxin or materials which periodontal bacteria made will go
into your blood and they will affect your whole body.
Periodontal bacteria is said that they have relation to diabetes, heart
attack, pneumonia and low birth weight infant.
To protect your entire body health, periodontal disease’s prevention and
treatment are important.
|
|
|
|
 |
|
C.Periodontal disease have no subjective symptom but we have prevention
and treatment method
- If you do not prevent, you have possibility of falling periodontal disease
- When you have a subjective symptom, periodontal disease have already progressed
- This disease will not cure itself. You need professional care of dental
doctor and hygienists
- If you receive correct treatment, gingivitis, slight and moderate periodontitis
will be cured
- Correct preventions keep periodontal diseases off
- We can cure even heavy periodontitis by advanced treatments
Our treatment “i-Perio”
A.Treatment steps for basic periodontal disease
|
Examination and diagnosis
|
|
We ask your troubles, whole body condition and your habits in private room.
Doctors check your alveolar bone through X-ray. Dental hygienist measure
the thickness of gum, amount of bacteria and the depth between teeth and
gum
In addition to, we have the whole oral examinations such as checking decayed
teeth and bite.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
Treatment plan and clear explanation
|
|
Doctors make a treatment plan based on diagnosis and you can get clear
information about it.
We show you the plan, term of treatment, advantages and disadvantages.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
Basic treatments
|
Brushing instruction “i-PC”
|
|
We tell the correct ways to reduce periodontal bacteria to each patient.
|
Scaling ”i-SC”
|
|
Doctors and dental hygienists remove the plaque and dental calculus.
Treatment for decayed teeth and wrong bite
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
Examination after treatment
|
|
We check patient’s oral condition get well nor not.
|
|
|
|
|
Maintenance “i-maintenance”
|
|
Treatment gets finished, we would like you to receive maintenance.
Dental hygienists provide professional care and tell you how to care in
your home.
So, we want you to come once a two or six months to keep your implants
with home care and professional care.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
B. Additional Treatment
|
|
|
We can cure most of periodontitis with basic treatments like above, however,
some heavy or progressive cases need additional treatment.
|
|
|
1.Surgical periodontal treatment
①Flap operation
|
|
In this operation, we will cut and open gum and remove dental calculus
which is deep into periodontal pocket.
|
 |
|
This is deep periodontal pocket. We cannot remove the hidden plaque and
dental calculus only by scaling.
|
 |
 |
|
So, we cut and open gum to clean perfectly.
|
|
 |
|
We remove plaque and dental calculus by scaler and bacteria is turned out.
|
|
 |
|
Removing is finished. Finally, we suture gum and inflammation will be healed.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
③Periodontal plastic surgery
|
|
|
We will repair the gum or establish steady gum around your teeth.
You will be able to get beautiful and great gum.
|
|
2.Special medicine
Cleaning up periodontal bacteria with special medicine.
3.Implant or dental prosthesis
Implant treatment for defected part and making crown which prevent periodontitis.
4. Guide for life style
Smoking is risk factor of periodontitis. We will guide not to smoke as
possible as you can.
Sometime, we guide for meals and drinks.
Character of our periodontal treatment (i-Perio)
 |
Our goal・・・Eating by your own teeth for life |
|
|
We treat while considering not only patients’ oral condition but also the
whole body health such as systemic disease and life style.
In addition, we operate fundamental treatment which is established.
On the other hand, we adopt international information and high rated advanced
treatments. With these, we can achieve “Eating by your own teeth for life.”
|
|
 |
Plaque control (i-PC) |
|
|
Periodontal bacteria is factor of periodontal disease. We would like you
to clean up the bacteria by brushing mainly. It called plaque control.
We will practice plaque control perfectly while standing in the position
of patients, and we will find the best plaque control way with patients.
Because of privacy room, you can practice plaque control at ease.
|
|
 |
Scaling (i-SC) |
|
|
|
Scaling is secondly important. Dental calculus also cause periodontal disease,
and they stick to deep between tooth and gum.
To remove them, we need high level technique.
Unfortunately, now there are small number of doctor and dental hygienist
who have the technique.
In our clinic, doctors or dental hygienists take it away accurately by
scalar or ultrasonic scalar.

 |
High rated treatment |
|
|
Please do not give up if you have heavy periodontitis, we will treat with
our “i-surgery.”
Such as regeneration treatment can save even bad teeth which we are inevitable
to extract in previous method.
We can give you great treatments because we are specialized institute for
periodontal treatments.
|
|
 |
Maintenance(i-Maintenance) |
|
|
We can prevent periodontal disease through cleaning periodontal bacteria.
And periodontitis will not occur again in most cases, if the bacteria is
stopped.
A large number of people had this disease and we were hard to stop it,
however, it is proved that we can prevent the disease by proper maintenance.
We make a treatment plan for each patient and we practice the maintenance.
Most people who receive our maintenance is freed from periodontal disease.
|
|
 |
Infection control |
|
|
Periodontal treatments are also the treatment for gum so, while the treatment,
you will often bleed from gum. For example, in teeth brushing instruction
and scaling. If the sterilization is not enough, nosocomial infection will
occur such as AIDS and hepatitis. We sterilize not only instruments but
also a toothbrush to achieve safe treatment without infection.
|
|
 |
Background for high rated treatment |
|
|
Dr. Ichimatu, our director, graduated from departure of dentistry of Nagasaki
University in 1986 and entranced graduate school in the said university.
He studied periodontology specially.
In graduate school, he studied and investigated periodontology. His achievement
was evaluated and reported in national magazines like Journal of Periodontal
Research.
Still now, periodontal therapeutics is one of his specialties which he
focus on.
Doctors and dental hygienists were trained enough. Our director is specialist
and instructor of specialists certified by Japan Society of Periodontology
and he joins in American Academy of Periodontology, European Federation
of Periodontology and The Japanese Academy of Clinical Periodontology.
He participates or presents in their meetings positively.
In addition, vice-director(Ryusuke Yamaguti) finished graduate school of
Nagasaki University and 2 dental hygienists are certified by Japan Society
of Periodontology. 4 other dental hygienists are also trained well. They
lead and support treatments.
Staffs always improve their knowledge of periodontology through study session,
external seminar and meetings.
In study session, we talk about not only scaling and base of surgical oral
treatment but also case analysis. All staff participant this session.
And that, in every Monday, doctors’ seminar is held.
We practice to provide high quality treatment for all patient.
Doctors and dental hygienists are often asked to present in external seminar
because our periodontal treatments are appreciated.
Experienced staffs support high rated periodontal treatments.

Cases of periodontal treatment
【All case had been treated in our clinic.】
We can cure most of periodontitis and we will practice appropriate preventive
treatment for patients who have no periodontitis.
In addition, our treatment keeps a possibility of relapse to a minimum.
We practice our goal “eating by your own teeth for life.”
Let us introduce some cases of periodontitis.
|
| Case 1 |
Heavy periodontitis: Periodontal treatment and 10 years success |
|
|
|
This patient came because he had felt the lower right tooth moving, but
not only that tooth but also he had heavy periodontitis as a whole.
Gum had been swollen and pus had flown here and there. He had bad breath
and it was rapid case so, if he had not minded it, he would lose most teeth.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
On the X-ray image, most of his alveolar bone had melt. It is character
of heavy periodontitis.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
Treatment had been finished. His gum becomes tight, there are no pus.
But unfortunately, gum tends to be down in these cases because gum will
be tight. However, we can prevent that teeth fall out and improve bad breath.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
This is an X-ray image after treatment finished. We can see more the alveolar
bone than before. He lost two lower right teeth but we improved the part
by implant treatment.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
He comes to receive maintenance now and 10 years passed from his first
visiting. Gum is pink color and keeps healthy condition.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
This is an X-ray took in 10th year since he came for the first time but,
periodontitis is not seen. Such as this case, we can cure periodontitis
and get long term success. If he does not receive treatment like this,
he probably loses most of his tooth. It was really great that he received
our treatment.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
| Case 2 |
Periodontal plastic surgery and we got long term success |
|
|
|
|
|
| Case 3 |
Severe gingival recession |
|
|
|
Due to periodontitis and too powerful brushing, his most gum had been down.
His teeth had been hypersensitivity and roots of teeth was about to be
decayed.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
We told him right brushing method (i-PC) and we cured his periodontitis
by scaling (i-SC). In this case, front part was worst, so we recovered
it with periodontal plastic surgery (i-surgery). 11 months later, here
is no need to worry about decayed teeth and hypersensitivity was cured.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
| Case 4 |
Regeneration treatment ; we could help a tooth which we usually extract |
|
|
|
|
|
| Case 5 |
Regeneration and implant treatment for heavy periodontitis |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As above, we treat severe periodontitis and other difficult cases. In this
page, we show you only 5 cases but, a large number of our patients implement “eating by my own teeth for life.”
If you have any worries about periodontitis and you are interested in perevention,
please feel free to come by all means.
