Diagnosis and Evaluation
The journey toward a successful outcome in managing periodontal disease begins with a meticulously structured consultation. Because oral health and bone symmetry are unique to each individual, a standard visual check is never sufficient. When you visit a specialist at Liv Hospital, the process starts with a detailed medical history where the clinician asks about your systemic health, smoking habits, and physical goals. The goal of this evaluation is to provide objective evidence of structural failure or bacterial infiltration and to determine if a specialized intervention is the most appropriate next step for your physical vitality.
A critical part of the clinical overview is determining the stage of the disease.
The first line of preparation for treatment involves a hands on assessment of the oral landscape.
To see beneath the surface of the gums and inside the jaw bone, high tech imaging is required.
A beautiful smile must also be a functional one. We must assess how your teeth interact.
Specialists look for these indicators of bacterial failure to ensure the environment is sterilized.
In some clinical cases, the concern involves the relationship between the mouth and the heart or blood sugar.
To the everyday people, seeing the state of their gums on a monitor is essential for understanding the roadmap.
The preparation phase includes a comprehensive check for signs of past chemical failures.
The end goal of the diagnostic phase is to reach a definitive management plan. Once all tests are completed—physical exam, mapping, and labs—your specialist at Liv Hospital will sit down with you to review the findings. If the evidence shows that your condition requires a surgical or restorative correction, we will discuss the options in detail. We encourage you to call the hospital to finalize your journey toward a more radiant and confident self through professional Periodontics.

A regular cleaning removes plaque and tartar above the gumline. Periodontal charting is a diagnostic procedure where the doctor measures the depth of the gum pockets around every tooth to check for bone loss. Charting diagnoses the disease; cleaning treats it.
The numbers (in millimeters) tell us the health of the gum attachment. 1-3mm is generally healthy. 4mm is a warning sign. 5mm and above indicate active periodontal disease and bone loss. Deeper pockets are harder to clean and harbor more dangerous bacteria.
Probing is generally not painful if the gums are healthy. However, if the gums are inflamed and infected, they may be tender. The periodontist uses a gentle touch, and topical anesthetic can be used if the tissues are very sensitive.
A comprehensive periodontal chart should be completed once a year for all adult patients. For patients being treated for gum disease, spot checking or full charting may be done more frequently to monitor the healing progress.
A CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) scan is a 3D X-ray. Unlike a flat 2D X-ray, it shows the width and volume of the bone in three dimensions. It is crucial for planning dental implants and assessing complex bone defects.
