Periodontitis Treatment Berlin-Tegel – Full Mouth Disinfection

The terms are often confused in everyday language, but they describe different conditions: periodontosis is a chronic, degenerative disease of the tooth-supporting structures that develops over many years and often progresses without acute signs of inflammation. Periodontitis, on the other hand, refers to an acute inflammation of the tooth-supporting structures triggered by bacteria. Both conditions affect the gums, jawbone, root membrane and periodontal pockets. If untreated, they lead to gum recession, bone loss and ultimately tooth loss. Early detection is crucial – and an important part of every prophylaxis session with us.

Full Mouth Disinfection is a scientifically founded, intensive treatment method in which all teeth and periodontal pockets are treated within 24 hours. This timeframe is crucial: if teeth are treated spread over several weeks, bacteria from untreated areas can recolonise the already cleaned pockets. By completing the full treatment within a narrow time window, this cycle of reinfection is broken. We offer Full Mouth Disinfection for both statutory patients according to PAR guidelines and private patients. Before treatment, we create a periodontal status that documents the exact condition of all periodontal pockets and forms the basis for treatment planning.

Treatment begins with a thorough assessment: we measure all periodontal pockets, document bleeding points and take an X-ray to assess bone levels. This is followed by intensive oral hygiene instruction so that you can optimally support the treatment at home. The actual therapy consists of professionally removing all deposits and tartar above and below the gum line – with ultrasound, hand instruments and, if necessary, the air polishing device. A few weeks after treatment, a re-evaluation takes place: we re-measure all pocket depths and assess the treatment outcome. Further treatment steps follow if needed.

Periodontitis is not purely a local disease of the mouth – it is closely linked to general health, the immune system and inflammatory processes in the body. Naturopath Isabelle Spring accompanies periodontitis therapy with a naturopathic perspective: micronutrient therapy to strengthen the immune system, intestinal therapy to improve microbiome balance, and anti-inflammatory nutritional advice. This holistic support promotes healing and helps to prevent relapses in the long term.
