- Tooth mobility
- Plaque and calculus buildup
- Bite forces that may stress weakened support
KYT Framework
How the KYT Framework applies
Structure
Are the gums and bone still providing stable support for the teeth?
Force
Are chewing or grinding forces stressing teeth that have weakened support?
Timing
Is this early inflammation, active periodontal disease, or a maintenance phase?
Options
Treatment options
Routine cleaning
For early gingivitis with no bone loss.
Scaling and root planing
For active periodontal disease with calculus below the gumline.
Periodontal maintenance
Ongoing care to stabilize and monitor after initial treatment.
Localized treatment
For isolated pockets or affected areas.
Specialist referral
When advanced surgical periodontal care is clinically appropriate.
Treating gum disease can control and stabilize the condition. Lost bone support cannot always be fully restored, but progression can often be managed with consistent care.
