Periodontal disease

Periodontitis, also called periodontal disease, begins with bacterial growth in the mouth and can end-if not properly treated-with tooth lossdue to destruction of the tissue surrounding the teeth.
Gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) usually precedes periodontitis, but not all gingivitis progresses to periodontitis.

In the early stage of gingivitis, bacteria in plaque accumulate, causing the gums to become inflamed and bleed easily when brushing the teeth. At this stage, although the gums may be irritated, the teeth are still firm and there is no irreversible tissue damage.
When gingivitis goes untreated, it can evolve into periodontitis, in which the inner layer of the gingiva pulls away from the teeth and forms periodontal pockets-these small spaces between teeth and gums collect debris and can become infected.

As the disease progresses, the pockets deepen and more and more gum and bone tissue is destroyed. When this happens, the teeth are no longer anchored, they become loose, and tooth loss occurs.

Periodontal disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults.

9. Compensation

With this maneuver, the apneist returns the eardrums to a neutral position, which, due to the external pressure, which reduces the volumes of the air zones of our body, would tend to introflex to the point of injury or rupture if they were not rebalanced. Ambient pressure, which increases with depth, causes a reduction in the volume of the aerial parts of our body (lesson 3), compensating the ears reconstitute the original volumes, keeping the eardrum in a neutral position.
