Clinical periodontics
In Levallois-Perret, care for the gums and the bone that holds the teeth: assessment, treatment, follow-up and prevention.
The practitioner
A practice centred on periodontology
Dr Victor Hazout cares for the gums and the bone that holds the teeth. He carries out the assessment, treats periodontitis, operates on the gum and provides long-term follow-up. When bone must be rebuilt or a tooth replaced, he also performs oral surgery and implant treatment.

Comprehensive care, focused on prevention
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammation of the tissues that hold the teeth. It is sustained by bacteria living below the gum. Treatment works locally. In a preventive-medicine approach, the assessment also looks for what, in each patient, may worsen the disease or slow healing.
1 · Mechanical treatment
Root surface debridement
Under local anaesthetic, fine ultrasonic tips and curettes clean each root below the gum. They remove the tartar and bacteria that sustain inflammation. This is the core of treatment.
2 · As a complement, depending on the case
The diode laser
After cleaning, the diode laser fibre is slipped into the pocket. Its heat acts mainly on the gum wall lining it, to reduce the bacteria there.
3 · Another option, depending on the case
The Er:YAG laser
The Er:YAG laser is absorbed by water. It can remove deposits from the root and inflamed tissue in the pocket, with little heating. These images show the tools: whether a laser is used, and which one, is decided for each patient. Studies credit lasers with a modest benefit on top of debridement; they do not replace it.
Around treatment
The first consultation
Conversation, gum examination and X-rays, then any tests the situation calls for. The assessment looks for what favours the disease: smoking, diabetes, stress, medication, family history, oral hygiene.
Periodontitis treatmentTests when they are useful
A fingertip blood test, done at the practice, can measure certain markers. A sample identifies the bacteria in the pockets. These tests guide treatment; they do not replace laboratory tests.
Article: blood testsNutrition and metabolic context
Possible deficiencies, blood-sugar control and inflammation markers are taken into account. Your GP is involved when useful.
Article: nutrition and inflammationHygiene, re-evaluation, maintenance
Interdental brushes and suitable technique, a check after healing, then regular maintenance visits. How often depends on each person’s risk.
MaintenanceIf a deep pocket persists
If, at the check, a vertical bone defect remains along a root, regenerative surgery can rebuild part of the lost support.
Periodontal regeneration
Gum surgery
Gum recession and gum grafts
When the gum recedes, the root is exposed. It becomes sensitive to cold, more visible and prone to decay. A gum graft can cover it and thicken the gum to stabilise it.
Implant dentistry
Implants planned in three dimensions
When a tooth is missing, an implant replaces its root. Its position is chosen in advance on 3D imaging: available bone, room for the future crown, distance to the nerve and sinus.
When there is not enough bone, it is rebuilt before or during placement: bone grafting, regeneration and, for larger defects, a custom-designed titanium mesh.
Bone reconstruction
The custom titanium mesh
A thin, perforated titanium mesh, designed from the patient’s 3D imaging, protects the bone graft and holds its shape while it heals.
Planning
The 3D model of the jaw is the starting point. The purple cylinders show the axis of the future implants; the mesh covers the bone volume to rebuild.
Placement
Graft material is placed on the bone and covered by the mesh, held with small screws; the gum is closed over it. After healing, the mesh is removed and the implants placed.
General health
Periodontitis and systemic disease
Periodontitis is associated with diabetes, heart and vascular disease, some pregnancy complications, kidney disease, rheumatoid arthritis and, in several studies, Alzheimer's disease. An association is not a cause: each article separates what is observed, what mechanisms may explain and what treatment actually changes.

FAQ
Your questions before a visit
My gums bleed when I brush: is it serious?
Bleeding is a sign of gum inflammation. It may be gingivitis, which is reversible, or periodontitis, which destroys the bone supporting the teeth. Only a full periodontal examination, clinical and radiographic, can tell them apart. Recognising the signs of periodontitis.
Can periodontitis be cured?
Lost bone does not grow back on its own, but the disease can be halted and the situation kept stable over time, provided the pockets are treated and regular maintenance follows. How periodontitis is treated.
Is periodontitis contagious?
Not in the usual sense. The bacteria involved are found in saliva and can pass from one person to another, but whether the disease develops depends mostly on each person's response: heredity, smoking, diabetes, oral hygiene. There is no need to keep apart; an examination of a partner is worthwhile if they have symptoms. The signs that should prompt a visit.
My teeth are loose: is it too late?
Not necessarily. Treatment halts the destruction and mobility often decreases; when it persists after substantial bone loss, teeth can be joined with a bonded splint. The examination shows which teeth can be kept. Periodontal splinting.
The practice and the team
Dr Victor Hazout practises at Mon Cabinet Dentaire, 119 rue du Président Wilson. Several dentists work there in complementary fields: general dentistry, endodontics, children’s dentistry, orthodontics, periodontics and implant surgery. They share an operating room, 3D imaging and operating microscopes.
Here Dr Hazout handles periodontics, oral surgery and implants. When treatment calls for several skills, it is coordinated on site: treating the gums before orthodontics or prosthetics, combining root-canal treatment with surgery, sharing imaging and records.
