00:00Parodontitis affects half of the Italian population, so 50% suffers from a form of parodontitis.
00:13Of this 50%, at least 13-15% of serious forms, which are the invalidating ones,
00:20which lead to the loss of teeth, therefore to the loss of chewing function.
00:25So it has a very significant impact. It is a pathology that can be cured and can be prevented,
00:33especially in the initial forms. So the impact of the cost, the more the diagnosis is late and the higher the costs.
00:42So a patient who is not cured for parodontitis ends up spending several thousand euros
00:48for treatments that could be much simpler.
00:52A citizen must first go to his dentist and request a parodontal visit,
00:59which is a visit where it is not enough to be looked at superficially,
01:04but it is necessary to use a ruler, a millimeter probe, which allows the dentist to make early diagnoses.
01:11So this is the first thing that all citizens should already begin to understand and intuit.
01:16This information is available on the website of the Italian Society for Parodontology and Plantology
01:23and on www.gengive.org, so this information is now available to everyone.
