Teeth cannot be completely healthy if a person has gum disease.
It has been proven that during inflammatory processes in the gums, bacteria actively multiply, contributing to the loosening and destruction of teeth, as well as their loss.
Periodontitis is especially often diagnosed among gum diseases.
It destroys the periodontium and bone tissue of the alveolar process. In addition, the disease has an adverse effect on the entire body: the immune system is weakened, digestion is disrupted, and the psycho-emotional state worsens.
Until recently, in the treatment of periodontitis, various methods were used that injured the gums, were accompanied by pain and had many other disadvantages.
Therefore, there was a need to develop a more gentle device. Such a device “Vector” was created in 1999 in Germany. This ultrasonic device immediately gained immense popularity among dentists and patients due to its ability to relieve various oral diseases. Treatment with the Vector apparatus is widely used for problems with gums, especially periodontitis.
Vector device from Durr Dental
Vector (“Vector”) is a development of the German company Durr Dental, which has been producing high-tech dental equipment for 70 years. The first Vector ultrasound devices appeared on the market in the early 90s and immediately attracted the close attention of specialists. Today, the system has undergone several modifications and is considered one of the most popular for ultrasound therapy. Of course, Vector has competitors, but the manufacturer assures that their system has unique characteristics that set it apart from other similar devices. Let's take a closer look at how teeth and gums are treated with Vector.
Effects after treatment with the Vector device
What does the patient receive after the procedure:
- Gum inflammation is eliminated.
- Normal blood circulation in tissues is restored.
- Regeneration processes are accelerated.
- Gums acquire a healthy color.
- Eliminates bad breath.
- The depth of periodontal pockets decreases.
- Mobility of teeth decreases.
- Bleeding gums disappear.
Features of gum treatment with the “Vector” device
The essence of any ultrasound device for the treatment of gum disease is to act on inflamed tissue, however, for greater treatment effectiveness, Durr Dental has developed a Vector Polish solution, which is used in combination with ultrasound. This is a suspension based on calcium hydroapatite, which is as close as possible to the composition of tooth enamel: it effectively destroys biofilm and literally “washes out” bacteria from periodontal pockets. In addition, the Vector device has a number of other important features that need to be discussed.
- ✔
Parallel direction of ultrasonic influence. In fact, this concept is how the system got its name. Unlike many other systems, the ultrasonic waves of the device are directed strictly parallel to the body of the tooth: they do not injure the sensitive tissues around the root and at the same time effectively remove deposits.
✔
About 30 attachments that are used directly in the treatment of gums, as well as during preventive procedures (including professional cleaning).
✔
Depth of action. Using the Vector device, you can effectively and safely clean gum pockets to a depth of up to 11 millimeters: such indicators cannot be achieved manually using surgical instruments.
Causes of periodontal problems
The causes of periodontal disease are very diverse: these include hormonal changes in the body, diabetes mellitus, injuries, and malocclusion pathologies. But still the leader in this list is the formation of plaque and tartar on the supragingival and subgingival surfaces of the teeth. It is these formations that become the source of infection, which then spreads to the periodontium, causing the formation of periodontal pockets and subsequent loosening of the elements of the dental row. Plaque is formed from microparticles of food and waste products of pathogenic microflora, which parasitize the human oral cavity. The plaque gradually thickens and is pressed. This is how tartar is formed. As you can see in this picture, it accumulates in places that cannot be cleaned well with a brush: in the spaces between teeth and at the gum line. Normally, the gum tightly covers the surface of the tooth, but upon contact with hard formations, it “pushes back”, forming a cavity. Thus, plaque and stone begin to settle on the root part of the dental units, and the infection penetrates the periodontal tissue, initiating the disease.
How is treatment with Vector carried out?
The Vector device is effectively used for periodontitis in mild, moderate or severe stages. As a rule, one session takes from half an hour to two hours: the time spent in the dentist’s chair directly depends on the number of teeth treated. Sessions are conducted once every 2 weeks until the disease is in remission. Treatment of periodontitis with Vector is quite effective, but one should not think that it works miracles. In the most advanced cases, complex therapy is required. Treatment of periodontal disease with Vector is also possible, but this disease has a completely different nature and is not inflammatory in nature, so ultrasound is used here as an auxiliary measure.
Advantages and disadvantages
So, can we recommend the Vector device? Absolutely yes. This is a good system for preventing and treating gum disease. On the other hand, we cannot say that this is an absolutely unique device. Some sources claim that a comparison of “Vector” and similar systems has shown: “Vector” does allow for more gentle treatment, but in terms of quality indicators it is not much superior to ultrasound devices of its class.
- Safety. Treatment of gum diseases with the Vector device does not damage soft tissues and is absolutely non-traumatic.
- There are practically no contraindications.
- Quality (periodontal treatment with the Vector device strengthens gums and teeth and copes well with deposits).
- Painless (the device does not directly contact damaged tissues).
- Multifunctionality.
- Quite a high cost. The price of gum treatment (“Vector”) may well be 20 thousand rubles per course.
- It cannot be said that “Vector” is “two heads taller” than similar systems.
Indications for vector therapy
The procedure is prescribed in the following situations:
- To prevent the development of caries and other diseases of the gums and teeth.
- For the treatment of periodontal diseases, eliminating bleeding gums.
- If necessary, complete cleaning of subgingival and supragingival hard deposits.
It is also recommended to take a cleaning course before installing implants, braces or dentures. It is important to remember that the procedure is prescribed only by a doctor, based on the indications identified during the examination and studying the results of additional diagnostics.

How much does it cost to treat periodontitis with Vector?
Prices for treatment with the Vector device directly depend on the type of service and the number of teeth that need to be treated. Typically, clinics set a fixed price for professional teeth cleaning using the Vector device, and, for example, the price of periodontitis treatment with Vector is based on the number of teeth treated.
Treatment of gums with the “Vector” device | Price |
Treatment of periodontitis with “Vector” | 600 – 800 rubles per 1 tooth |
Dental treatment with the “Vector” device (professional hygiene) | From 4,000 – 6,000 rubles |

effective methods for diagnosing and treating periodontitis and periodontal disease for 18 years.
Treatment of gums with the Vector device for periodontitis
is the most modern and innovative direction, allowing you to quickly and reliably relieve inflammation and
bleeding of the gums
.
Patients would like therapeutic measures in the treatment of periodontitis to be painless, not time-consuming and, of course, effective. It is no secret that the use of ultrasonic scalers not only causes pain, but also leads to the formation of a rough surface on the root zone of the tooth, which subsequently facilitates the secondary formation of tartar, since a rough surface is an ideal condition for plaque attachment. IMPORTANT:
The only way to avoid this is to thoroughly polish the root surface of the tooth.
Operating principle of the Vector device.
The German company Durr Dental has developed a unique periodontal device “Vector”. Removal of subgingival stone and bacterial film occurs as in an ultrasonic bath.
- Removal of plaque and polishing occurs using a sterile polishing suspension. They form a hydroshell around the tooth, through which ultrasonic vibrations are transmitted. There is no damage to the hard tissues of the roots, since the instrument does not touch the tooth tissues.
- Due to the hydrodynamic effect, the number of microorganisms in the tissues surrounding the tooth is significantly reduced, which leads to rapid relief of inflammation and allows, in many cases, to avoid surgical intervention.
- After the procedure, the gums fit tightly to the teeth.
IMPORTANT:
The “Vector” system has proven its effectiveness in practice in the treatment of gingivitis, periodontitis and periodontal disease, even in the later stages of the disease. Prevention of periodontal disease and early diagnosis of pathologies increase the effectiveness of the fight against diseases of periodontal tissues.
Advantages of treating gums with the Vector device.
For 18 years, dentists at the Dentist dental clinic near the Chistye Prudy metro station have accumulated sufficient experience working with the Vector system and confirm: Excellent results in the prevention of periodontal diseases:
- Non-traumatic, no damage to healthy dental tissues.
- The procedure is painless.

- Painless.
- Pronounced and long-lasting positive therapeutic effect.
- In some cases, it replaces the operation of open curettage
, which allows the patient to avoid surgical intervention. - Prevention of peri-implantitis
after implant installation.
IMPORTANT:
“Vector” is the only modern universal technique that has excellent clinical effectiveness and is applicable not only for the treatment of moderate and severe forms of periodontitis, but also allows for preventive measures.

I have been treated by G.A. Romaseva for many years.
I have never met a better doctor. A highly professional, decent person. I'm glad I found her again.. Maria
This is the best clinic in my memory!
Previously, I was treated online, near my home. I had problems with my gums, although the pain was less, but it still bothered me. I understood that something was wrong, but I waited for it to pass. They recommended going to Galina Alekseevna at the Dentist to check it out. After treatment in that clinic, I was shocked by the attitude towards the patient here! They not only gave me an x-ray, but also showed me the condition of my teeth using a camera, found a small hole and advised me to remove the old filling. Galina Alekseevna treated her gums using the Vector system. And even though the prices here are much higher, I understand where my money is going, and things got better the same day. Diana rated the place and wrote.
In dentistry, Dentist completely cured gingivitis. By stupidity I started the disease. Experienced doctors at the clinic carefully and thoroughly carried out the treatment. I am completely satisfied!!! Good luck to the doctors of the clinic!!
Cost of treatment with the Vector device.
Price
for the treatment of periodontitis
in Moscow
, the Vector system is slightly more expensive. The price formation is influenced by the need for expensive equipment, its service, the provision of individual sterile boxes for the procedure, the purchase of “suspension” consumables, and the main role in carrying out a difficult and labor-intensive procedure is played by the doctor’s experience and qualifications.
However, in order to more fully assess all costs, it is necessary to take into account the advantages that the technique provides. Experts are unanimous in the opinion that “Vector” gum treatment is one of the most promising areas, and the costs are fully justified.
Price
“Vector” procedure is calculated individually, after
consultation with a periodontist.
As part of a free consultation:
- the stages of the procedure are specified
- an individual treatment plan is drawn up
- X-ray examinations are carried out.

procedure and must be taken seriously. Gum diseases lead to rheumatoid diseases, the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, gastritis and stomach ulcers increases, since periodontal pockets are centers of chronic infection. However, it should be noted that not only periodontal diseases affect the body, but also some diseases of the body have symptoms of periodontal diseases. For example, undiagnosed diabetes mellitus, blood diseases.
The genetic predisposition of a person to periodontal diseases has been scientifically proven, and the local causes that cause it only activate and trigger the mechanism of this disease. Such reasons include non-compliance with oral hygiene, incorrectly performed prosthetics, crowded dentition, and incorrectly placed fillings only aggravate the situation.
