Maggok-dong Dental Clinic EMS Scaling

Hello,

I am dentist Yeo Sang-ho from Magok-dong Dental Clinic.

In the busy daily lives of modern people, oral care is often pushed to the back burner.

When people think of dental care in general, they often first think of cavity treatment or prosthetic replacement,

but in reality, the buildup of plaque and tartar that cannot be seen has a major impact on oral health.

Tartar is a calcified deposit firmly attached to the tooth surface, and it cannot be removed with ordinary brushing alone.

If such deposits are left untreated for a long time, they can cause gum inflammation and further increase the likelihood of developing periodontitis.

Plaque also becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and can be a direct cause of bad breath.

To address these problems, a systematic tartar removal method using EMS AIRFLOW® and PIEZON® technology is drawing attention.

This method goes beyond the existing simple tartar removal approach and is evaluated as a comprehensive approach that improves the overall oral environment,

and it has the advantage of achieving both minimal pain and effective cleaning.

1. Examination This article was written by Maggok-dong Dental Clinic for the purpose of providing medical information.

During the initial examination stage, it is most important to accurately understand the overall condition inside the mouth.

The observed findings show that, not only in the anterior region, but also between the teeth, yellowish tartar has built up thickly.

Because tartar is difficult to see with the naked eye, we stained the bacteria that cause plaque and tartar to check,

and confirmed that the areas with bacteria were clearly visible.

This area is one that people often miss during oral care.

Because it is difficult to brush between the teeth, it is better to manage plaque by thoroughly removing it with interdental brushes or dental floss.

If this care is not done, swelling and redness are observed along the gum margin, which is considered an early symptom of gingivitis.

A detailed analysis of the oral structure shows that plaque buildup is most severe along the front surfaces of the anterior teeth and the gum line,

and that tartar is also widely distributed on the molars.

These deposits serve as a base for bacterial growth, and through the continuous release of toxins, they become a cause of chronic inflammation in the surrounding periodontal tissues.

In addition, they can also be a cause of bad breath.

Therefore, through an accurate initial examination, we believe it is important to comprehensively evaluate the distribution of tartar and plaque, the degree of gum inflammation, and the health of the periodontal tissues.

2. Plan First, through the plaque staining test, we accurately identify even the microscopic surface deposits that are difficult to see with the naked eye.

Through this test, we can visually confirm the plaque remaining on the anterior teeth and occlusal surfaces using a special stain, allowing us to objectively assess cleanliness.

3. Process

In the first step, we begin by using the plaque staining test to identify the exact location and extent of the surface deposits.

When the stain is applied inside the mouth, even the fine plaque that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye is stained and clearly visualized.

At Maggok-dong Dental Clinic, we believe that after accurately identifying the areas that need cleaning through this process, GBT powder spray cleaning should be started.

This uses powder particles as fine as snow, minimizing physical stimulation to natural teeth and gums while

softly removing plaque, fine particles, and stains.

Once the powder cleaning is complete, Perioflow is used to clean the biofilm inside the periodontal pockets in the gums,

and Piezon is used to remove any remaining tartar.

In the final step, the surface is smoothed and finished through polishing,

and interdental floss is used to remove any remaining debris from the spaces between the teeth.

The oral condition after treatment shows a marked improvement compared with the initial examination.

The most noticeable change is the improvement in the gum margin.

The swelling and redness observed before treatment have significantly decreased, restoring a healthy pink gum line.

This means that, by removing the tartar and plaque that were causing inflammation, the natural healing process of the periodontal tissues has begun.

Regular implementation of EMS scaling contributes directly to maintaining the health of periodontal tissues,

and is known to help prevent the recurrence of gingival inflammation.

Through this preventive care, we can significantly reduce the risk of developing more serious periodontal disease in the long term.

I will end this post by noting that regular care is important.
