How Laser Gum Therapy Works?

By removing the bad bacteria, which cause periodontal disease, can be done several different ways. A traditional approach of scaling and root planning (a closed gum deep cleaning) followed by gum or osseous surgery (an opened gum cleaning) is one effective way to remove large amounts of plaque and calculus. A more modern approach is by a minimally invasive procedure called LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) also known as laser periodontal therapy or laser gum therapy. This therapy involves the use of a specialized laser. Additionally, a less effective approach is the use of medications and antibiotics.

Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease is chronic. The same bacteria which cause periodontal disease are free floating in your mouth and return to your teeth and gums over time. Antibiotics can sometimes help, but only temporarily. Calculus also originates from your saliva and will always return. Calculus sticks to your tooth and root surfaces and cannot be removed by brushing and flossing alone. Regular periodontal maintenance check-ups and cleanings will always be needed to keep the bacteria from attacking your gums and teeth again.

What are the indications for using a laser to treat periodontal disease? Why will it benefit me versus other methods? Laser periodontal therapy, laser gum therapy, and LANAP™ can be used in almost all patients.

LASER TREATMENT FOR GUM DISEASE
Limited research suggests that the use of lasers as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) may improve the effectiveness of this procedure. SRP is a non-surgical therapy used to treat periodontal diseases. In addition, when the lasers are used properly during periodontal therapy there can be less bleeding, swelling and discomfort to the patient during surgery.
