Teeth Case – Zoom 100%
Focused Area: Posterior molar region and surrounding gum tissue (teenage patient)
Full Analysis and Deep Visual Examination
This assessment is based on the provided image only and does not replace a full dental examination, periodontal probing, or X-rays.
Observed Findings
-
Localized active gum bleeding adjacent to the molar
-
Red and inflamed gingival tissue, indicating irritation
-
Presence of plaque accumulation along the gum margin
-
Area is anatomically difficult to clean, increasing bacterial retention
-
Tooth crown appears intact with no obvious fracture visible at this magnification
Probable Diagnosis
-
Plaque-induced gingivitis in the molar region
-
Localized gingival inflammation, possibly aggravated by poor oral hygiene
-
Early periodontal risk if untreated
Recommended Treatment Process
Step 1: Full Mouth Scaling and Polishing (Day 1)
-
Ultrasonic scaling to remove plaque and early calculus
-
Manual scaling around molars and gum margins
-
Polishing to smooth tooth surfaces and reduce plaque retention
Estimated duration: 45–60 minutes
Local anesthesia: May be considered if gum sensitivity is high
Step 2: Healing and Recovery Timeline
| Time Frame | Expected Healing Progress |
|---|---|
| Days 1–3 | Bleeding decreases, tenderness may remain |
| Days 4–7 | Gum inflammation visibly reduces |
| Days 8–14 | Gum tissue stabilizes and returns to healthy color |
A 14-day healing period is realistic with proper oral hygiene and compliance.
Potential Issues if Scaling Is Not Performed
-
Persistent gum bleeding
-
Progression from gingivitis to early periodontitis
-
Formation of periodontal pockets around molars
-
Bone support loss in the posterior region
-
Increased risk of tooth mobility in later stages
Post-Treatment Care Recommendations
-
Brush twice daily using a soft-bristle toothbrush
-
Focus cleaning on back teeth and gum margins
-
Floss daily or use interdental brushes
-
Rinse with warm salt water or dentist-recommended mouthwash
-
Avoid sugary snacks and carbonated drinks during healing
Professional Comment
Gum inflammation in teenagers is often underestimated. Posterior teeth are commonly missed during brushing, allowing gingivitis to progress silently. Early professional scaling can completely reverse this condition when addressed promptly.
