Among the instruments used by the periodontal community, there have been few innovations that have changed the scene as profoundly as this one. Pioneered by the American Dr. Robert Barr in the early 90s, the LANAP laser procedure has the chance to change some of the so-called fundamentals of treating gum disease.
The advantages of LANAP are numerous. It offers dental professionals an unprecedented level of accuracy, able to reach beneath the gum line and clean while being controlled remotely, without shaky hands on conventional instruments. The laser itself can be utilised to plane the root of the tooth as well as the gum, serving to remove both the calculus that occurs on the tooth, and the diseased gum tissue that has been affected.
The laser also brings another advantage to its treatment: its influence actually stimulates the regrowth of gum tissue. By activating this healing mechanism, the gums of the patient can recover more quickly, filling the pocket left by the infection, and adhering strongly to the tooth.
National Periodontics of Australia is among this country’s first periodontal teams to introduce the LANAP procedure to its patients. With their strong commitment to the well-being of their patients, and a long history of professional dental care throughout their numerous locations, they are securing the LANAP procedure’s spot in remedial care for all sufferers of periodontal diseases.
