If you are suffering from periodontal disease and looking for a surgery, it may be high time for you to visit a Periodontist and get to know about your chances of getting Laser therapy. Dental surgeries involving sutures and scalpels are things of past, as US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) has certified LANAP as an acceptable surgical procedure as early as 2004.
Laser (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) produces an intense beam of light of a single wavelength. A medical laser device includes: a source of electricity, a crystal, mirrors to direct the light beam, gas or set of semiconductors that when stimulated release wavelengths of specific range and fiber optics deliver the light energy. The simple mechanism of the laser action involves the transmission of the laser light energy into heat within the diseased cells of the tissues that are being treated. The pulsing of the laser energy restricts the possible collateral damage from the excessive heat. Treating Periodontal Disease Using lasers in periodontal disease treatment make patient experience less bleeding, discomfort and swelling. Every laser has dissimilar power levels and wavelengths that are safe and appropriate for many periodontal disease treatments. American Academy of Periodontology suggests that lasers can be used in addition to root planing and scaling to enhance the success rate of this procedure. LANAP nowadays is used to remove the damaged portion of a tooth, such as the bacterial infection, tartar and so forth, or to prepare teeth for advance treatment, such as crowns or fillings. This procedure eliminates infection from the gum tissue and reshapes it. Laser Treatment Procedure Using lasers to treat periodontal disease involves the subsequent steps:
