Periodontology, a branch of dentistry that examines the soft (gingival) and hard (alveolar bone) tissues surrounding and supporting teeth and implants, aims to diagnose and treat diseases that develop in these tissues and to protect the health obtained after treatment.

The most common symptom of gingival disorders is bleeding gums. Other signs of unhealthy gums are swelling, redness and recession of the gums. This and similar periodontal diseases vary according to the forms of treatment deemed necessary. These:

• Detertraj (Teeth stone cleaning)
• Subgingival Curettage (Root surface cleaning)
• Gingivoplasty
• Gingivectomy
• Flap operation
• Tunnel operation
• Periodontal
• Abscess treatment etc. are treatments.
