ParoDent

Periodontology: The Clinic's Core Specialisation

Periodontology is the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of diseases affecting the gums and the bone and connective tissue that support the teeth. ParoDent's specialist focus in this area, backed by MUDr. Dubravska's formal Czech Dental Chamber certification as a periodontologist, places it among the relatively small number of Czech dental practices offering genuine specialist-level periodontal care.

Periodontal disease is one of the most prevalent and consequential dental conditions in the adult population. It begins as gingivitis, inflammation of the gums caused by bacterial plaque accumulation, and can progress to periodontitis, a destructive condition in which bacterial toxins and the body's immune response together cause resorption of the alveolar bone and destruction of the periodontal ligament that attaches the teeth to the jaw. Untreated advanced periodontitis leads to tooth mobility and ultimately tooth loss. Despite its prevalence, periodontal disease is frequently under-diagnosed in general dental settings, making access to a specialist clinic like ParoDent particularly valuable for patients with persistent gum bleeding, deep periodontal pockets, receding gums, or unexplained tooth mobility.

Treatment at ParoDent for periodontal disease is structured and evidence-based, typically progressing through initial intensive scaling and root planing to remove subgingival deposits, followed by reassessment, surgical interventions where required to access deep pockets or regenerate lost tissue, and long-term supportive maintenance. MUDr. Dubravska's 30+ years of clinical experience in this field means the clinic has managed a wide spectrum of periodontal presentations from early gingivitis to advanced Stage IV periodontitis, and can provide treatment tailored to each case's complexity.

Oral Mucosa Diseases

A specialisation in oral mucosa diseases sets ParoDent further apart from general dental practices. Conditions affecting the soft tissues of the mouth, including recurrent aphthous ulcers, oral lichen planus, candidal infections, geographic tongue, and leukoplakia, require diagnosis and management that goes beyond the scope of routine dental care. MUDr. Dubravska's expertise in this area allows the clinic to investigate and treat mucosal conditions that may be missed or inadequately managed in a general dental setting, and to identify any lesions requiring urgent medical investigation.

Surgical Microscope-Assisted Procedures

ParoDent's investment in surgical microscopes supports both its periodontal and general dental clinical work. Microscope-assisted periodontal surgery allows the surgeon to visualise the root surfaces, bone defects, and soft tissue architecture in fine detail during procedures such as flap surgery, bone grafting, and guided tissue regeneration. This level of optical magnification improves the precision of periodontal surgical interventions, supporting better tissue healing and more predictable outcomes. The microscopes are also used for other precision dental work including endodontics and complex restorative procedures.

3D X-Ray Imaging

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) provides three-dimensional views of bone levels, root anatomy, furcation involvement, and sinus structures that are essential for comprehensive periodontal assessment, pre-implant planning, and surgical procedure design. The availability of 3D imaging in-house at ParoDent supports more precise diagnosis and treatment planning than is possible with conventional two-dimensional radiographs alone, and reduces the need for patients to visit an external imaging centre before their periodontal treatment can proceed.

Comprehensive General Dental Care

Alongside its specialist periodontal and oral mucosa services, ParoDent provides comprehensive general dental care. Patients can receive routine examinations, restorative treatment, endodontic therapy, and professional hygiene cleaning within the same clinical environment as their specialist periodontal management. This integrated approach is particularly valuable for patients with complex periodontal conditions who also need restorative or prosthodontic work, allowing their entire dental care to be coordinated by a team that understands the periodontal context of every clinical decision.

Dental Hygiene

Professional hygiene appointments are a fundamental part of periodontal maintenance. At ParoDent, hygiene appointments are designed within the context of each patient's periodontal status, with subgingival cleaning targeted to the specific pocket depths and affected areas identified in the patient's periodontal chart. Supportive periodontal therapy at appropriate recall intervals is the most effective way to maintain the gains achieved through active periodontal treatment and prevent disease recurrence.

MUDr. Edita Dubravska: Specialist Credentials

MUDr. Dubravska trained at Charles University in Prague and the 2nd Dental Clinic at the General University Hospital, one of the Czech Republic's most prestigious training environments for dental specialists. Her dual certification as a practical dentist and periodontologist from the Czech Dental Chamber, combined with over 30 years of clinical practice, positions her as one of Prague's most experienced periodontal specialists. The clinic she has built around her expertise reflects a clinical model in which specialist knowledge is combined with general dental competence to provide holistic care for patients with complex oral health needs.

For patients in Prague or visiting from abroad who require specialist-level periodontal diagnosis and treatment, management of oral mucosa conditions, or comprehensive general dental care within a periodontally informed clinical environment, ParoDent offers a rare depth of specialist expertise in a modern, well-equipped Vinohrady practice.
