At OI DENTAL CLINIC, Dr Vasileios Chatziportokalis applies modern preventive and periodontal techniques to maintain the structural health of the mouth.

Structural prevention is not only about the professional cleaning of the teeth; it is about maintaining the architectural structure of the mouth. The gums and the bone are the foundations of a healthy smile, and protecting them is essential for the long-term preservation of the teeth, of implants and of aesthetic restorations.

Preventive Maintenance & Bio-Cleaning

Management of Microbial Biofilm

Advanced cleaning with ultrasonic instruments, aimed at removing microbial biofilm and calculus, protecting the gums and the bone — the foundations of oral health.

Periodontal Treatment

Modern treatments for gingivitis and periodontitis, with deep cleaning carried out using high-precision ultrasonic instruments, helping to reduce inflammation and to stabilise the health of the periodontal tissues.

Modern Diagnostic Precision

The use of modern diagnostic and digital methods for the early detection of problems, before they affect the function and the aesthetics of the smile.

Maintaining Structural Health

Prevention is a fundamental prerequisite for the long-term preservation of implants, aesthetic restorations and orthodontic treatment.

The Basis of a Healthy Smile

Systematic preventive care contributes to:

• maintaining the health of the gums
• preventing periodontal disease
• the long-term preservation of implants
• the stability of aesthetic restorations
• maintaining the function of the mouth

With a proper prevention programme and regular monitoring, the smile can remain healthy and stable for many years.

Frequently Asked Questions About Structural Prevention

What is structural prevention in modern dentistry?

Structural prevention concerns the protection of the foundations of oral health — the gums, the bone and the teeth — through regular check-ups and professional cleaning.

What is biofilm?

Biofilm is the microbial layer that forms on the teeth and gums, and it is a primary cause of decay and periodontal disease.

What is periodontitis?

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gums that affects the tissues supporting the teeth. If it is not treated in time, it can lead to bone loss and ultimately to the loss of teeth.

How is periodontitis treated?

Treatment involves deep cleaning below the gum line to remove microbial deposits and calculus. At OI DENTAL CLINIC the procedure is carried out with high-precision ultrasonic instruments, which are used both for professional cleaning and for periodontal treatment.

How often should professional cleaning be carried out?

In most cases it is recommended every 6 months. Patients with periodontal problems may require more frequent monitoring.

Why is prevention important?

Prevention allows problems to be diagnosed and treated early, before they develop into more serious conditions, contributing to the long-term preservation of oral health.
