Vector apparatus for the treatment of periodontitis, periodontal disease and other gum diseases
Gum disease, along with caries and stomatitis, is very common. But patients rarely pay attention to the first symptoms of the inflammatory process in the periodontium and most often turn to the dentist at the moment when he reaches the peak of development. In modern dental clinics for the treatment of periodontitis and other periodontal pathologies, a German apparatus is used. Vector, which avoids surgery even in the later stages of the disease.

System Description Vector
The Vector device was developed by the famous German company Durr Dental, specializing in the production of high-tech innovative dental equipment. The basic model of the device was introduced in 1990, its invention was recognized by the leading clinics of the world as a breakthrough in modern periodontology.
The principle of the apparatus is that the affected gingival tissue is affected by ultrasound in combination with a special fine suspension. Innovations in the operation of the device are:
- vertical vibrations of the working nozzle of the tip, minimizing damage to the surface layer of the root of the tooth;
- the use of a special solution instead of distilled water used in classical ultrasonic brushing.
The Vector Fluid polish solution contains calcium hydroxylapatite particles, due to which the enamel sensitivity is reduced and high-quality polishing of the tooth root surface is performed.
The vector system for the treatment of periodontal diseases includes the use of two devices: Vector Paro - an innovative device used in the treatment of periodontitis and periodontal disease, and Vector-scaler - a high-quality ultrasonic scaler.
The Paro ultrasound system is designed to remove subgingival dental deposits and polish the surface of the roots of the teeth in periodontal pockets. Various attachments and tips are supplied with the base unit. Due to their diversity, using the device it is possible to clean not only the surface of the teeth, but also hard-to-reach periodontal pockets, which is the main advantage of treatment using the Vector device.
Ultrasound affects the teeth and soft gingival tissue not directly, but indirectly through a liquid medium. Such a principle of ultrasonic exposure avoids the destruction of enamel and injury to the gums during dental treatment.
Indications for treatment with Vector in dentistry
Therapy using the Vector device in dentistry is used in the following cases:
- at the initial stages of the development of periodontal tissue diseases and as prevention of gum recession;
- in severe and chronic forms of periodontitis, periodontal disease and other periodontal diseases;
- for professional cleaning of enamel from plaque and tartar;
- to improve the survival rate of prostheses and the prevention of inflammation of the teeth with extensive implantation.
Technology of the procedure Vector in dentistry
Vector therapy aims to eliminate the cause of the disease, it is carried out after a thorough examination of the oral cavity by a periodontist. Anesthesia during the procedure is not needed.Anesthetic is administered only with severe gum disease, in which the patient is painful to speak and to chew.
During the procedure, subgingival and supragingival deposits are removed, the bacterial plaque is destroyed, and the tooth space is thoroughly washed. In periodontal pockets, the solution is supplied under pressure, the removal of deposits occurs in an ultrasonic medium. Ultrasonic energy running parallel to the root plane is concentrated in only one linear plane, thereby reducing the risk of injury to the teeth. The cement contained in the roots does not deteriorate, the tooth does not overheat.
During the procedure, the teeth are not subjected to mechanical stress, therefore, the teeth are cleaned with the Vector machine in the most gentle way, but it is very effective.
Under hydrodynamic action, particles of the suspension are washed out of the periodontal pockets of the biofilm, which consists of pathogenic microorganisms and their metabolic products. At the same time, the most microscopic tartar particles are removed, which effectively eliminates bad breath.
During the treatment of teeth and gums with the Vector Polish device, periodontal tissues are not injured, so they are restored as soon as possible. Depending on the severity of the disease, the area of inflammation and the number of teeth treated the duration of the procedure can be from 30 minutes to 2 hours. Repeated fixing procedure is carried out in a month. Every six months, the patient should undergo a control examination of the oral cavity.
The advantages of using the device in dentistry Vector
Hardware therapy. Vector is used in periodontology to treat diseases of both inflammatory and non-inflammatory nature. Such versatile use is associated with a similar mechanism for the development of periodontal pathologies - periodontitis, periodontal disease, and gingivitis result from the action of the pathogenic flora that accumulates at the base of the teeth and in periodontal pockets.
The dental apparatus Vector allows you to reduce the number of pathogenic bacteria in the periodontium and thereby eliminate the cause of the disease, stop its symptoms, accelerate tissue repair.
Description of the main advantages of the vector therapy method:
- A wide range of applications. The Vector device is used in dentistry clinics for the treatment of periodontal diseases of varying severity and the subsequent prevention of relapse of inflammatory phenomena.
- Painless treatment. Vector treatment system is not invasive, therefore during the procedure there is no direct contact of the instrument with damaged tissues. Due to this, the treatment of gum diseases with the help of the Vector device is available to patients with increased sensitivity of enamel. Using the device, you can treat the teeth of children.
- High precision and safety procedures. Orientation of ultrasound in one plane allows you to purposefully brush your teeth and treat periodontal disease without the risk of injury to the peridental soft tissues.
- The use of innovative therapeutic solution. The use of Vector Polish suspension allows for complete cleaning of periodontal pockets of the smallest particles of plaque in just one session. Such a result cannot be achieved using equipment that uses distilled water.
- Lack of contraindications. There are practically no contraindications to the treatment of periodontal disease, periodontitis and gingivitis with the Vector device. The exception is only especially neglected diseases, in which it is impossible to do without surgical intervention.
Reviews on the treatment of periodontal disease and other periodontal diseases with the apparatus Vector are mostly positive. Usually, patients highly value both the equipment itself and the effectiveness of the treatment. There are practically no drawbacks to the procedure.The main disadvantages of vector therapy, patients consider its high cost and inaccessibility in ordinary municipal polyclinics. Even in Moscow, not all clinics are equipped with a Vector device.
