Laser Periodontal Surgery - PRWeb Press Release Group http://www.prweb.com LANAP is an acronym for "Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure". Traditionally, moderate to advanced periodontitis, or gum disease, was treated with surgery involving cutting, stitching, and significant recovery time. This invasive approach was often painful, and presented “roadblocks” for patients taking medications such as blood thinners, certain cardiac medications, and other systemic medications that would be contraindicated for traditional periodontal surgery. Although traditional procedures have been successful, our state-of-the-art approach to the treatment of periodontal (gum) disease is more conservative and predictable. With LANAP, we are now able to improve the periodontal health of our patients for many years in a much less invasive way. LANAP enables a “qualified” periodontist to treat gum disease much more quickly and easily, with no cutting, stitching, bleeding, or pain. Not all lasers are FDA-approved for this procedure. LANAP is the only FDA approved protocol for the treatment of periodontal disease. Results have included new connective tissue and bone regeneration. LANAP also provides a complete sterilization of the “pockets” in the gum tissue surrounding the teeth by eliminating all the destructive bacteria that cause periodontal or gum disease. - Powered by PRWeb and RSSPad en xml@emediawire.com xml@emediawire.com 30 New York City Periodontists Lead Fight Against Gum Bacteria Linked to Heart Disease http://www.prweb.com/releases/2009/06/prweb2479144.htm New Research Finds Common Genetic Mutation, Puts Laser Periodontal Surgery in Spotlight (PRWeb Jun 1, 2009)
