Periodontology Munich - Gum Treatment | Dentist Christina Dickel

Periodontitis is a widespread dental disease that can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. The disease affects not only the gums but also the tooth-supporting apparatus, including bone and connective tissue. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to stop the progression of the disease and preserve your teeth long-term.

What Is Periodontitis?

Periodontitis — commonly referred to as "gum disease" — is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the tooth-supporting structures (periodontium). It affects not only the gums but also the jawbone, root cementum, and the fibres that anchor the tooth in the bone. Left untreated, periodontitis leads to the breakdown of these structures and ultimately to tooth loss.

The condition is widespread: approximately 50% of all adults over 40 are affected. Periodontitis is the most common cause of tooth loss in adults — more so than tooth decay. The insidious aspect: it often progresses painlessly for a long time and is therefore frequently detected only at an advanced stage.

At our dental practice in Munich-Oberföhring, we rely on early diagnosis using a cone beam CT (CBCT) and modern treatment methods to preserve your teeth for the long term.

Gingivitis vs. Periodontitis — the Difference

Gingivitis (gum inflammation) is the precursor to periodontitis. It is confined to the gums: they appear red, swollen, and bleed when brushing. The good news: gingivitis is fully reversible. With a professional dental cleaning (PDC) and improved oral hygiene at home, the inflammation heals completely.

If gingivitis is left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis. The inflammation then extends to the jawbone — deepened periodontal pockets form, and bone is irreversibly lost. This transition is the critical moment: what was still easy to stop at the gingivitis stage now requires systematic treatment for periodontitis.

Periodontitis Is Treatable

The most important message: periodontitis is treatable. While bone that has been lost can only be partially regenerated, the disease can be halted and controlled. With modern anti-infective therapy, regenerative procedures, and consistent follow-up care (UPT), over 95% of patients keep their teeth long-term.

The earlier treatment begins, the better the prognosis. If you notice symptoms or are unsure — get examined. A simple pocket depth measurement is sufficient to assess the condition of your periodontal apparatus.

Recognising Symptoms & Understanding Stages

Periodontitis often develops gradually. Watch for these warning signs:

Bleeding gums when brushing or eating hard foods
Red or swollen gums
Bad breath (halitosis) that does not go away despite good oral hygiene
Gum recession — teeth appear longer
Sensitive tooth necks with hot, cold, or sweet foods
Loose teeth or changes in tooth position
Pus discharge from the periodontal pockets
Unpleasant taste in the mouth

Important: Even one of these symptoms may indicate periodontitis. Bleeding gums are not normal — not even "just a little".

The European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) and the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) introduced a new classification in 2018 that categorises periodontitis by severity (stage) and rate of progression (grade):

Stages (Severity):

Stage	CAL (Attachment Loss)	Bone Loss (Radiographic)	Typical Features
I (Mild)	1–2 mm	Coronal third (<15%)	Bleeding gums, mild redness, max. pocket depth ≤4 mm
II (Moderate)	3–4 mm	Coronal third (15–33%)	Gum recession, bad breath, pocket depth ≤5 mm
III (Severe)	≥5 mm	Up to middle third of root	Loose teeth, ≤4 teeth lost, deep pockets ≥6 mm
IV (Very Severe)	≥5 mm	Beyond middle third (apical)	≥5 teeth lost, bite problems, chewing impairment

Grades (Rate of Progression):

Grade	Progression	Risk Factors
A (Slow)	No loss over 5 years	Non-smoker, no diabetes
B (Moderate)	Loss proportional to age	Smoker <10 cigarettes/day
C (Rapid)	Loss disproportionate to age	Smoker >10 cigarettes/day or diabetes

This classification helps us plan your treatment individually and assess the prognosis realistically. At the initial examination, we determine the stage and grade based on pocket measurements, X-rays, and your medical history.

Causes and Risk Factors

The main cause of periodontitis is bacterial biofilm (plaque) on tooth surfaces and below the gum line. More than 700 bacterial species live in the oral cavity — most are harmless. However, certain periodontal pathogens (such as Porphyromonas gingivalis or Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans) can trigger an excessive immune response that destroys the body's own tissue.

Whether and how quickly gingivitis progresses to periodontitis depends on several risk factors:

Smoking — the greatest modifiable risk factor. Smokers are 3–6 times more likely to develop the disease and respond less well to treatment.
Diabetes mellitus — especially with poorly controlled blood sugar (bidirectional relationship)
Genetic predisposition — up to 50% of disease risk is genetically determined
Stress — weakens the immune system and promotes inflammatory processes
Hormonal changes — pregnancy, puberty, menopause
Medications — certain blood pressure medications, immunosuppressants, antiepileptics
Poor oral hygiene — plaque accumulation as a prerequisite

Can Periodontitis Be Prevented?

Yes — and prevention is considerably easier than treatment. The most important measures:

Thorough home oral hygiene — brush twice daily plus use interdental brushes or floss
Regular professional dental cleaning (PDC) — at least twice a year, more frequently for those at higher risk
Not smoking — the most effective single protective factor
Good diabetes management — keep HbA1c below 7%
Regular check-ups — PSI screening 1–2 times a year

Professional dental cleaning is a central element of periodontitis prevention. It removes bacterial biofilm even in areas that your toothbrush cannot reach.

Periodontitis & General Health

Periodontitis is more than a condition of the mouth. The chronic inflammation releases bacteria and inflammatory mediators that travel through the bloodstream to the entire body. Research in recent years has established clear links between periodontitis and several systemic diseases.

Zusammenhang zwischen Parodontitis und Allgemeinerkrankungen — Parodontitis beeinflusst den gesamten Körper: Wechselwirkungen mit Diabetes, Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen und Schwangerschaft.

Diabetes Mellitus

The relationship between diabetes and periodontitis is bidirectional: diabetes increases the risk of periodontitis threefold, and conversely, untreated periodontitis worsens blood sugar control. Studies show that successful periodontal treatment can reduce HbA1c by 0.3–0.4% — comparable to the effect of an additional diabetes medication.

Cardiovascular Disease

Periodontitis patients have an elevated risk of heart attack and stroke. Chronic inflammation raises CRP (C-reactive protein) levels in the blood and promotes atherosclerosis. Periodontal bacteria have been detected in atherosclerotic plaques. There is also a risk of endocarditis (heart valve inflammation), particularly in patients with pre-damaged heart valves.

Pregnancy

Untreated periodontitis during pregnancy increases the risk of preterm birth and low birth weight. Inflammatory mediators can trigger premature labour. Periodontal treatment during pregnancy is safe and is even recommended — ideally in the second trimester.

Respiratory Conditions

Periodontal bacteria can be inhaled and contribute to pneumonia (aspiration pneumonia) — especially in elderly or immunocompromised patients. Good oral health has been shown to reduce the risk of respiratory infections.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis and periodontitis share similar inflammatory mechanisms. Studies show that periodontitis patients are more likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis and vice versa. Treating periodontitis can also have a positive effect on joint symptoms.

Treatment Process Step by Step

Periodontal treatment follows a proven, systematic process in accordance with the guidelines of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Parodontologie (DG PARO). Each step builds on the previous one — this is how we achieve the best possible prognosis for your teeth.

Behandlungsablauf der Parodontitistherapie in 7 Schritten — Von der Diagnostik über die antiinfektiöse Therapie bis zur langfristigen UPT-Nachsorge.

1. Initial Consultation & Periodontal Assessment

At the first appointment, we carry out a comprehensive periodontal examination. This includes the PSI (Periodontal Screening Index), a full pocket depth measurement at 6 points per tooth, and assessment of tooth mobility and gum recession. The PSI is covered by statutory health insurance and is recommended twice a year as an early detection examination.

2. 3D Diagnostics with CBCT

With our cone beam CT (CBCT), we create three-dimensional images of your jaw. Unlike a conventional X-ray, we can assess bone loss to the millimetre — including in hard-to-see areas such as furcations (root bifurcations). CBCT diagnostics offer a decisive advantage for precise treatment planning.

3. Pre-Treatment (PDC & Oral Hygiene Instruction)

Prior to the actual periodontal therapy, pre-treatment takes place: a professional dental cleaning (PDC) and individual oral hygiene instruction. You will learn how to effectively remove biofilm at home — because your contribution is crucial to treatment success.

4. Anti-Infective Therapy (Scaling & Root Planing)

The core of treatment: under local anaesthesia, all periodontal pockets are thoroughly cleaned. Using ultrasonic instruments and fine hand instruments (curettes), we remove bacterial biofilm, tartar (calculus), and inflamed tissue from the pockets. At the same time, the root surfaces are smoothed (root planing) so that biofilm is less able to recolonise. We typically treat one jaw per session.

5. Re-Evaluation after 3 Months

Three months after anti-infective therapy, we measure all pockets again. In most cases, there is a clear improvement: pockets are shallower and inflammation has subsided. Based on the results, we decide whether further measures are needed or whether we can move directly into follow-up care (UPT).

6. Surgical Therapy (if required)

For remaining deep pockets (≥6 mm), surgical therapy may be necessary. The gum tissue is reflected (flap surgery) to clean the root surfaces under direct vision. For suitable bone defects, we use regenerative procedures — for example Emdogain® (enamel matrix proteins) or GTR membranes — to partially regenerate lost bone.

7. Transition to UPT (Supportive Periodontal Therapy)

After active therapy is complete, lifelong follow-up care begins: the UPT. It is the foundation for long-term success. Without regular UPT, periodontitis almost always returns. More on this in the section Follow-Up Care & UPT.

Modern Treatment Methods

In our practice, we combine proven procedures with modern technology. Our goal: treatment that is as gentle, effective, and predictable as possible. Here is an overview of the methods we use:

Method	Application	Advantage	In Our Practice
CBCT 3D Diagnostics	Bone assessment	Millimetre-precise planning	✓
Piezo Ultrasonic	Tartar removal	Particularly gentle	✓
Diode Laser	Pocket disinfection	Bacterial reduction >99%	✓
Emdogain®	Bone regeneration	Natural healing	✓
PerioChip®	Local antibiotic therapy	Targeted, without systemic side effects	✓

Moderne Behandlungstechnologien: DVT, Laser, Piezo-Ultraschall — Unsere Technologien: DVT für 3D-Diagnostik, Dioden-Laser für Taschendesinfektion, Piezo-Ultraschall für schonende Reinigung.

CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography)

Our CBCT delivers three-dimensional images with a resolution of up to 0.1 mm. This allows us to precisely assess bone defects, furcation involvement, and vertical bone loss — the basis for precise treatment planning and the decision of whether regenerative procedures are likely to be successful.

Piezo Ultrasonic

Modern piezo ultrasonic instruments remove tartar and biofilm particularly gently. The high-frequency vibrations loosen deposits without damaging the sensitive root surface. At the same time, the irrigation ensures continuous flushing and cleaning of the pockets.

Laser-Assisted Therapy

The diode laser complements the mechanical cleaning of periodontal pockets. The laser light reaches areas that instruments cannot access and reduces the bacterial load by over 99%. At the same time, laser treatment promotes wound healing and tissue regeneration. The procedure is low-pain and shortens healing time.

GTR (Guided Tissue Regeneration)

For suitable bone defects, we use barrier membranes that encourage bone tissue to grow into the defect while preventing the faster-growing gum tissue from filling it. This allows new bone to form in the protected area.

Emdogain® (Enamel Matrix Proteins)

Emdogain® contains enamel matrix proteins that mimic the natural developmental process of the periodontium. Applied to the cleaned root surface, they stimulate the regeneration of bone, root cementum, and fibres. Emdogain® achieves particularly good results with vertical bone defects.

PerioChip® (Local Antibiotic Therapy)

PerioChip® is a small gelatin chip that delivers chlorhexidine directly into the periodontal pocket — over a period of 7–10 days. It is placed in persistently deep pockets after scaling and reduces the bacterial load precisely at the site of inflammation, without systemic side effects.

Costs and Insurance (PAR-Richtlinie)

Thanks to the PAR-Richtlinie, which has been in effect since July 2021, insurance coverage for periodontitis patients has fundamentally improved. Systematic periodontal therapy has since been a benefit of statutory health insurance (GKV). Here is a transparent overview:

Treatment	Cost	Covered by Insurance
Periodontal assessment (PSI)	Covered by insurance	✓ GKV 2x/year
Pre-treatment (PDC + OHI)	80–160 EUR	Partial (subsidies)
Anti-infective therapy (per jaw)	300–600 EUR	✓ GKV since PAR-Richtlinie
Surgical therapy (per sextant)	200–500 EUR	Partial GKV
Regenerative therapy (Emdogain®)	300–800 EUR	Private service
UPT session	80–150 EUR	✓ GKV (PAR-Richtlinie, 2 years)

What the PAR-Richtlinie (since 2021) means:

Since July 2021, statutory health insurance covers the costs of systematic periodontal treatment. This includes:

Diagnostics — PSI and periodontal assessment
Anti-infective therapy — Scaling & Root Planing (subgingival debridement)
UPT — Supportive Periodontal Therapy over 2 years (months 3, 6, 12, 18, 24)

Requirement: An AIT application (application for approval of anti-infective therapy) must be submitted to and approved by your health insurance provider. We submit this application on your behalf — the process typically takes 2–3 weeks.

After 2 years: GKV coverage for UPT ends after 24 months. We then recommend continuing follow-up care as a private service — your dental health is worth the investment.

Further information about the PAR-Richtlinie is available from the Kassenzahnärztliche Bundesvereinigung (KZBV).

Private insurance: Privately insured patients receive reimbursement of 80–100% of all services depending on their plan — including regenerative procedures (Emdogain®, GTR). We provide you with a detailed treatment and cost plan to submit to your insurer.

Follow-Up Care & Supportive Periodontal Therapy (UPT)

UPT is the most important element of periodontal treatment — because the real challenge begins after active therapy. Periodontitis is a chronic condition: without regular follow-up care, it almost always returns.

What happens at a UPT session?

Pocket measurement — checking whether pocket reduction remains stable
Biofilm removal — professional cleaning of all periodontal pockets
Re-instruction — refresher on home oral hygiene technique
Inflammation monitoring — bleeding on probing (BOP) as an early warning system
X-ray check — when needed, to verify bone status

UPT Schedule:

In the first year: every 3 months
When stable: every 3–6 months (individually adjusted)
Lifelong: UPT should not end — periodontitis requires ongoing management

Long-term prognosis: The 30-year study by Axelsson and Lindhe demonstrates impressively: patients with regular follow-up care retain over 95% of their teeth. Without follow-up care, tooth loss is significantly higher. UPT is therefore the best investment in your dental health.

The GKV covers UPT costs for the first 2 years under the PAR-Richtlinie. We then strongly recommend continuing follow-up care as a private service. In our practice, we offer you an individual UPT concept tailored to your personal risk profile.

Risks and Prognosis

Periodontal treatment is a well-established, safe procedure with an excellent prognosis. The most common side effects are part of the normal healing process and a sign that treatment is working:

Post-operative sensitivity — common and normal, subsides after 1–3 days. Pain relief (ibuprofen) as needed.
Gum recession after therapy — common. The swelling subsides and the gums tighten — teeth may temporarily appear "longer".
Exposed tooth necks — occasional. Treatable with desensitising varnishes or fluoride application.
Temporary tooth mobility — rare. Stabilises once the bone has healed.
Recurrence with inadequate follow-up — possible, but preventable. Regular UPT reliably prevents relapse.

In our practice, we minimise risks through precise CBCT diagnostics, gentle ultrasonic and laser technology, and an individual UPT follow-up concept. Every treatment is tailored to your personal situation.

Your Treating Dentist — Dr. Christina Dickel

At my practice in Munich-Oberföhring, I treat periodontitis with a clear focus on modern technology and personalised care. My approach: precise diagnostics with CBCT, gentle therapy with ultrasound and laser, and close follow-up care tailored to your individual risk profile.

I have been treating patients with periodontitis for over 13 years — from mild gingivitis to advanced cases requiring bone regeneration. In 2016, I completed the Curriculum Parodontologie of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Parodontologie (DG PARO), which provides in-depth advanced training in all aspects of periodontal therapy.

My goal is to preserve your natural teeth for as long as possible. With modern technology, a clear treatment plan, and your commitment to home care, we create the best conditions together for achieving this.

My technical equipment for periodontal treatment:

CBCT 3D diagnostics — for millimetre-precise bone assessment
Diode laser — for gentle pocket disinfection
Piezo ultrasonic — for tissue-sparing scaling
Digital charting — for seamless progress monitoring

If you have questions or would like an examination — book an appointment. An initial periodontal examination takes approximately 30 minutes and gives us a clear picture of your situation.

Häufige Fragen

Gingivitis is a gum inflammation that affects only the gum tissue and is fully reversible. Periodontitis, on the other hand, also attacks the jawbone and the tooth-supporting structures — without treatment it leads to tooth loss. The progression from gingivitis to periodontitis can be prevented through regular prophylaxis and professional dental cleaning.

Periodontitis is treatable and controllable, but not curable in the classical sense. Bone that has been lost can only be partially regenerated. However, with systematic therapy and consistent follow-up care (UPT), the disease can be halted — over 95% of teeth can be preserved long-term.

Costs depend on the severity. Anti-infective therapy costs 300–600 EUR per jaw, surgical procedures 200–500 EUR per sextant. Since the PAR-Richtlinie 2021, statutory health insurance covers systematic therapy and UPT (2 years). We provide you with an individual treatment and cost plan.

Yes — since the PAR-Richtlinie (July 2021), systematic periodontal therapy is a GKV benefit. This includes diagnostics, anti-infective therapy, and UPT for 2 years. The prerequisite is an approved AIT application, which we submit to your health insurance provider on your behalf.

Typical warning signs include bleeding gums, red or swollen gums, bad breath, gum recession, and loose teeth. The problem: periodontitis often progresses without pain. Regular preventive check-ups with PSI screening at the dentist are therefore especially important.

Anti-infective therapy (Scaling & Root Planing) is performed under local anaesthesia — you will feel no pain. After treatment, the gums may be sensitive for 1–3 days. Our gentle ultrasonic and laser techniques further minimise discomfort.

Active therapy extends over approximately 3–6 months: pre-treatment, anti-infective therapy (2–4 sessions), re-evaluation after 3 months, and surgical therapy if required. Lifelong follow-up care (UPT) every 3–6 months then follows.

UPT is the regular follow-up care after periodontal treatment. It includes pocket measurement, professional biofilm removal, and review of home oral hygiene. UPT takes place every 3–6 months and is decisive for long-term success.

Studies demonstrate a clear link: periodontitis patients have an elevated risk of heart attack and stroke. Chronic inflammation raises inflammatory markers in the blood and promotes atherosclerosis. Successful periodontal treatment reduces this risk.

Yes, periodontal treatment during pregnancy is safe and is even recommended — ideally in the second trimester. Untreated periodontitis increases the risk of preterm birth and low birth weight. Please let us know if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy.

Untreated periodontitis leads to progressive bone loss, tooth mobility, and ultimately tooth loss. The risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes complications, and pregnancy complications also increases. The earlier treatment begins, the better the prognosis.

In the first year, we recommend UPT sessions every 3 months. When findings are stable, the interval can be extended to 3–6 months. UPT should be continued for life. The GKV covers the costs for the first 2 years under the PAR-Richtlinie.

Yes, the diode laser effectively complements the mechanical cleaning of periodontal pockets. It reduces the bacterial load by over 99%, promotes wound healing, and is particularly gentle. In our practice, we routinely use the laser in periodontal therapy.

Yes — through thorough home oral hygiene (brushing + interdental brushes), regular professional dental cleaning (PDC), and not smoking. Diabetic patients should manage their blood sugar well. Regular dental check-ups with PSI screening enable early detection.

Diabetes and periodontitis reinforce each other: diabetes increases the risk of periodontitis threefold, and untreated periodontitis worsens blood sugar control. Successful periodontal treatment can measurably reduce HbA1c levels.
