| My step-mother (who is Romanian) has just emailed me to say she has
been diagnosed with Paradentoza and is at risk of losing her teeth. Can
anyone tell me what the english term is likely to be and what possible
treatments are available.

Good assumption. That seems to make sense.

The word is Paradonthosis, but I'm not 100% because I have this
information from web, not from dictionary.
Any way the treatment could be NEY PULPIN, made in France or any
English similar medicine.
Does this help? Is the medicine she refers to familiar to anyone. She
wants me to source the medicine for her as Romanian dentistry may not
be up to Western Europe standards. If anyone can identify it, is it the
sort of thing she could travel to UK or France for treatment?

Simon,
I do not know anything about this drug, but I tried to look it up on
the Web. It looks like Neypulpin is supplied by a German company named
VitOrgan.
I sounds like this is a mild anabolic steriod, the active ingredient
being methenolon acetate, but I am not too sure. I am only guessing
because the NonEnglish documents that I saw used both names. Also from
what I can tell, this may be considered to reduce inflammation while
increasing blood supply to the affected tissue.
As far as I know, this is not typically used by dentists in the U.S.
Please realize that I am not a dentist and I have never heard about
this drug Neypulpin that is apparently used in Europe for treatment of
periodontitis. I am only hoping that my comments might invite
additional comments from those that know more about this than myself.
Best wishes,
Sue (patient)

______________________________
"Paradonthosis" is not a term used in Western dentistry. If the
condition is periodontitis (I don't speak Romanian), it cannot be
resolved with medication alone. Periodontitis requires a combination of
treatment by a competent dentist and meticulous oral hygiene home care
by the patient.
In a case of periodontitis, the treatment is at least direct scaling
and root planing by the dentist, often followed by gum and bone surgery
to correct periodontal defects. This is often done in conjunction with
grafts in the affected areas. The patient MUST apply meticulous home
care on a daily basis for the surgery to succeed. Many patients undergo
the surgery but fail to apply concentrated oral hygiene needed daily,
thus dooming the outcome of the treatment.
Medicines alone do NOT work. In thirty years of dental practice, I have
never seen a medicine that could stem the progress of periodontal
destruction unless a dentist first applied periodontal treatment and
the patient provided excellent oral hygiene.
