This condition contributes to a change in the structure of tissues around the periodontium and requires professional intervention when the size of the gingival pockets reaches 4-5 mm (with a norm of 3 mm). In the resulting space, pathogenic microflora and the smallest food debris accumulate, which contributes to the development of inflammatory processes and a gradual increase in distance. This condition is a pathology and must be treated. In dentistry, curettage of the gums of periodontal pockets is used for this, otherwise the disease will progress, which will lead to more serious consequences.
