Vector device for the treatment of periodontitis, gums, teeth cleaning in dentistry. What is it, reviews, price

One of the diseases of the tissues supporting the teeth, is periodontitis. It is characterized by the onset of an inflammatory process with the possibility of tissue detachment from the tooth. Modern medicine treats him with a special device Vector.

Principle of operation

The Vector device for the treatment of periodontitis and other oral problems was invented by specialists from the German company Durr Dental. The system helps remove tartar deposits and painlessly polish tooth enamel. The effectiveness of therapy in this way increases several times: after 2-3 sessions, the positive dynamics of the process becomes noticeable.

The device is configured to eliminate the causes of the disease.

The procedure can last up to 2 hours, which is associated with the processing of each tooth separately using special attachments. Flexible tools made of composite materials are used for cleaning. They easily reach the extracted areas of the teeth, their roots and existing implants, while keeping the material intact.

Only in difficult cases does the patient need anesthesia if the modern Vector apparatus is used. In other cases, its work is painless and is carried out using ultrasound in a non-contact way.

During work, the waves are directed parallel to the surface to be treated and therefore the patient does not feel vibrations. The system allows you to get rid of painful symptoms and their causes. As a result of the treatment, the disease-causing coating is removed from the teeth and bacteria that destroy bone tissue are killed. The polishing agent contains microparticles that reduce the sensitivity of the enamel layer.

After treatment:

• gum tissue becomes denser;
• tartar is removed;
• teeth stop loose;
• the possibility of their premature loss is reduced.

If you regularly carry out oral prophylaxis using this device, you can increase the service life of expensive implants. This will save not only money, but time and nerves that are wasted when visiting the dentist.

The cost of vector therapy in dentistry

Treatment with the Vector system allows you to quickly get rid of painful sensations and carry out oral cavity prophylaxis. The total cost of the prescribed course depends on the number of teeth requiring treatment and the complexity of the problem.

In the price list, areas of teeth or implants are separately highlighted:

• 1 segment;
• jaw;
• the entire oral cavity.

The time of each procedure depends on the number of teeth to be treated and the degree of periodontal disease. Depending on this, it can last from half an hour to 2 hours. The longest period of time is allotted for the preparation of the procedure: at least 30 minutes are allotted for it, so the cost of the process is high.

In addition, the costs of:

• materials;
• purchase of polishing liquid;
• sterilization of instruments;
• the procedure itself.

As a result, the difference in payment for processing 1 tooth and the entire cavity will be about 50%.

For example:

• cleaning of the roots of teeth and periodontal areas in 1 segment, including from 1 to 8 teeth, will cost about 7.5 thousand. rub.;
• oral cavity treatment will require a payment of 15 thousand. rub.

Indications

Treatment with the Vector device is often prescribed by modern dentists.

The indications for the procedure are:

• periodontitis of various forms, as well as during exacerbation and remission;
• gingivitis catarrhal, ulcerative, necrotic, acute or chronic;
• gingivitis during pregnancy;
• diseases that arise as a complication of problems with the endocrine system, heart and blood vessels, as well as against the background of oncology;
• odontogenic infection and inflammation of the tissues of the oral cavity;
• prevention of diseases in the presence of implants in the mouth.

Contraindications

The use of ultrasound therapy has its own contraindications.

These include the following:

• the acute phase of the development of the disease;
• tendency to profuse and difficult to stop bleeding;
• a pacemaker installed in the patient's chest;
• intolerance to individual components of the therapeutic fluid;
• the presence of tumor nodes in the mouth.

Otherwise, the effect of the device allows you to cope with complex diseases, even in their acute stage. With timely prescribed therapy, complications and surgical interventions can be avoided.

Negative action

Treatment of periodontitis and other diseases with the Vector apparatus for most people passes without pain and discomfort. For those who have hypersensitivity, anesthesia is given with a gel applied to the gums.

The advantages of this procedure include the following:

Advantage	Description
Lack of discomfort and pain	The absence of direct contact with the treated tissue avoids injury and severe edema. After the procedure, there is practically no discomfort, the patient does not feel fear.
Qualitative cleansing	Unlike classical devices, Vector devices can deeply penetrate into hard-to-reach places and clean root areas that are complex in shape. If there are metal-ceramic prostheses or implants, then Vector is the correct and only way to ensure their purity from destructive bacteria.
Safety	Thanks to the effective action on the pathogenic bacteria present in the mouth, complete tissue cleansing, disease prevention and wound healing are ensured.
Prevention and beneficial effects on tissue	The field of course treatment with this device significantly increases the density of tissues, bleeding disappears, the gums become stronger.
Minimum contraindications	The safety of the procedure makes it possible to prescribe it even to pregnant women and the elderly. There are no contraindications for its use when breastfeeding.

The device is not a panacea for all diseases, and with the complex development of periodontitis, you will have to resort to a surgical operation.

Treating gum disease

The modern ultrasound cleansing system is used to treat most gum problems. Such procedures help to alleviate the patient's condition after the session.

After the first treatment of the oral cavity with the apparatus, the patient periodically undergoes a control examination at intervals of 1, 3 and 6 months. If necessary, the doctor prescribes re-treatment. In the future, if remission occurs, it is necessary to repeat the treatment once a year and carry out supportive therapy.

Treatment using this device differs from other ultrasound methods in efficiency and comfort during the procedure.

Periodontitis

The reasons for the development of this infection are:

• problems with oral hygiene;
• untreated gingivitis;
• bite problems;
• improper development of teeth;
• the presence of tartar.

If the situation is started, painful sensations may occur when taking a sweet, cold or hot dish. In addition, the gums begin to turn red and bleeding appears.

In the future, if you do not take measures to solve the problem, a pocket with bacteria forms on the tissues and your mouth begins to smell unpleasant. The Vector device for the treatment of periodontitis is prescribed when visiting the dentist.

With the help of it, the doctor:

• removes problem tissues;
• affects the inflamed areas and increases the density of tissues, making them closer to the teeth;
• polishes the enamel of the teeth.

Exacerbations of periodontitis can be removed in just 2 sessions. Then for some time it will be necessary to carry out preventive examinations and, if necessary, undergo repeated treatment.

Periodontal disease

The device, in addition to removing tartar, allows you to stop the destruction of tissues that it provokes. Unlike other diseases of the mouth, periodontal disease is less common. But even in the absence of inflammation, the disease remains complex: it causes degenerative destruction of the tissues surrounding the tooth.

Often untreated periodontitis leads to the disease. Elderly people are at risk, due to the pathological changes of an age nature that are passing through them. The disease causes loss of teeth and thinning of bone tissue, on which dentures cannot be placed.

Gingivitis

In terms of symptoms and method of treatment, such a disease is easier than periodontitis. It can be easily cured without complications and repeated remission.

The symptoms of gingivitis are:

• the appearance of a putrid odor from the mouth;
• redness of the gum area;
• inflammation of the papillae.

At the same time, there are no foci of inflammation, and if you start cleansing in time with the help of the apparatus, you can avoid the appearance of pockets.

Reimplantitis

In case of inflammation of the mucous membrane around the installed implant, it is necessary to start treating it with the Vector apparatus as soon as possible. This will remove plaque, get rid of pathogenic bacteria and cleanse the implant surface of biofilm without damaging the material. For the treatment of peri-implantitis, special instruments made of carbon fiber and polishing slurry are used.

Procedure steps

The Vector device is a compact device based on the use of ultrasound. Its main function is to carry out comprehensive oral hygiene on a professional basis. If necessary, it is used to cleanse deep periodontal pockets. According to technological data, its waves can penetrate to a depth of 11 mm.

The features of such a procedure are as follows:

• waves are supplied by the device vertically, which avoids vibration and makes the process painless;
• the device allows you to polish your teeth and remove hard deposits;
• together with ultrasonic waves, a special solution is fed into the oral cavity, containing particles of calcium hydroxyapatite. This significantly reduces tissue sensitivity.

With the help of ultrasonic vibrations, pathogenic bacteria are almost completely destroyed, the gingival pocket is cleaned to the bottom, as well as the upper part of the root and other hard-to-reach areas of the tooth and gums. The procedure is recommended to be carried out at least 2 times with an interval of 10-14 days.

Tooth brushing

The Vector device for the treatment of periodontitis has a set of different nozzles, one of which has a thin end and this allows you to effectively clean periodontal pockets. It is wound under the gums, and ultrasonic waves, together with the abrasive components of the gel, break down and remove tartar, polishing the surface of the tooth.

Full oral hygiene cannot be carried out at home. In hard-to-reach places, a film with bacteria will remain and after a while it can cause the development of caries. Therefore, dentists recommend that you clean your teeth from plaque and hard deposits on a professional basis 2 times a year.

Cleaning with Vector is safe and efficient. Special adjustments allow you to change the intensity of radiation and cool the tissues of the oral cavity without pain or discomfort.

The polishing compound makes the surface of the teeth smooth and protected, therefore, after the procedure, plaque does not appear on their surface for a long time. The process takes at least 1.5 hours.

Initial caries

Vector is a modern system for the treatment of oral diseases in the early stages of caries. Its work allows you to effectively and safely clean out the areas of carious lesions in the affected areas. At the same time, the living tissues of the teeth remain intact.

The abrasive suspension, which is used in this procedure, increases the adhesion of the composite for filling and the surface of the tooth several times. The procedure does not use anesthetics: the treatment is not accompanied by severe pain.

Recovery period

Gum disease is caused by bacteria that build up on the surface of the teeth. If such plaque is not removed in a timely manner, it becomes hard and visible in the form of tartar. In addition, pathogenic bacteria, as a result of their activity, form pockets on the tissues of the oral cavity, which can lead to loosening of teeth and their loss.

Treatment of the gums begins with an examination of the oral cavity by a dentist, according to the results of which treatment is prescribed.

Conservative treatment methods for periodontal disease are as follows:

• Removal of deposits on the entire surface of the gums and cleaning of gingival pockets;
• carry out the sessions with the help of the Vector device.

Surgical methods are used if necessary. The duration of a full-fledged procedure depends on the number of treated surfaces, neglect of the disease. It is practically painless and goes away without anesthesia, because patients do not feel discomfort. The Vector device has a set of different attachments for surfaces of various complexity.

With the normal course of the disease, it can be stopped in 1 session.

Advanced and complex diseases are treated in several stages. The course of apparatus treatment allows avoiding surgical intervention, which until recently seemed impossible.

Forecast

After the procedure using the Vector device, the patient does not feel pain. The recovery period passes without edema and other unpleasant symptoms accompanying diseases of the oral cavity. Positive dynamics is visible after the 1st procedure.

In patients:

• the gums are noticeably strengthened;
• the formation of dental plaque is not so fast;
• the shakiness of the teeth decreases, and their roots are strengthened;
• the structure of the basal tissues changes, they begin to adhere more tightly to the bone tissue.

In order to preserve this effect as long as possible after the end of treatment, experts recommend paying more attention to the prevention of diseases and oral hygiene.

The modern device Vector allows you to treat diseases of the oral cavity at different stages. Depending on the complexity of the case, improvement occurs after 1-2 sessions of therapy. The number of procedures is prescribed by the doctor based on the results of a preliminary study. In addition, you can use the device for preventive and cleansing procedures.

Professionally carried out cleaning of tissues and oral cavity will eliminate the occurrence of diseases such as periodontitis, periodontal disease and others. Treatment with the Vector apparatus is an absolutely painless procedure.
