The Perioscopy Alternative – A non-surgical option for treating periodontal disease

Originally, treatment for periodontal disease was surgery. There is now a new procedure called Perioscopy, which features digital video technology that enables the doctor to diagnose and treat areas below the gumline without the discomfort of surgery. For the very first time, doctors using the dental endoscope can see magnified details of tooth anatomy and deposits below the gumline.

This new technology features advanced microscopic video technology with up to 48 times magnification. It also allows direct vision of the tooth root to enhance traditional cleaning, scaling and root planning techniques.

With new technology comes new benefits. Not only does it provide a comfortable, non-surgical, periodontal treatment option, it also pinpoints unseen deposits that cause bleeding and inflammation. It enables the detection of periodontal conditions and other dental problems in earlier stages as well. Most importantly, it raises the standard of oral health care by using a new level of visualization in helping fight periodontal disease and associated tooth loss.
