Laser Assisted Periodontal Therapy
A minimally invasive treatment alternative with enhanced clinical outcomes. The controlled penetration depth and surgical precision of the C02 (10,600 nm) wavelength facilitates the selective removal of the diseased tissue while simultaneously disinfecting the sulcus, promoting a variety of ,metabolic healing processes, in many cases, without the requirement for flap sugery.
Limit the Iatrogenic Nature of Traditional Periodontal Procedures
A unique characteristic of laser technology is it's ability to disinfect as it selectively vaporizes the diseased target tissue. In this regard, using the laser as an adjunct to periodontal procedures, limits the risk of inadvertently inoculating healthy vital tissue as traditional mechanical tools can do, which in turn can enhance the healing process and potentially, clinical outcomes.

What is Laser Assisted Periodontal Therapy
One of the most important considerations with Laser Assisted Periodontal Therapy is to understand that the laser is an adjunctive tool and sound periodontal principals are paramount. That being said, while scaling, root planing, occlusion and mobility must be considered, the adjunctive use of laser technology can significant enhance clinical outcomes by facilitating an environment to promote better, faster healing.
While traditional tools are sterile, lasers can also decontaminate the site, helping to eliminate bacteria and in turn minimizing the negative effects of the inflammatory response. Lasers can also be used surgically to selectively remove the diseased epithelial lining of the pocket, often without the requirement to raise a flap. In this regard, wavelength is an important characteristic to consider. The C02 (10,600nm) wavelength combined with unique pulse profiles and super pulsed delivery, can selectively remove the epithelial lining of the pocket, destruction of biofilm and bacteria while simultaneously promoting natural metabolic processes of healing. This in turn enhances the bodies ability to regenerate tissue and decrease the size of the pocket in the absence of long junctional epithelium.
Deepithelialization - A GAME CHANGER
A unique characteristic of a super-pulsed C02 (10,600nm) wavelength is the ability to selectively dehydrate and remove the crestal epithelium, delaying the apical re-migration of the epithelium which in turn can inhibit regeneration of cementum and bone. Delaying the apical migration of the epithelium gives the body more time for regenerative processes.
