Researches suggest that the use of lasers, as an add-on to scaling and root planning can help advance the efficiency of the procedure. Scaling and root planning (SRP) is the non-surgical therapy which is used to diagnose periodontal diseases. When lasers are appropriately used during the periodontal therapy, your bleeding, inflammation and distress during the surgery can be abridged. Laser Periodontal therapy is also known as LANAP, which is said to be the Laser guided new attachment procedure. Scalpel or sutures are not used in the Laser Perio.
Laser Perio is a painless treatment, and your post procedure discomfort is typically low or for short term. During this treatment, Tartar (associated with inflamed and bleeding gums) is detached from the root surface. Tartar is removed using the ultrasonic scaler and tiny instruments. The Laser light energy from Periolase is directed all the way through a small fiber, which is placed between your gum and tooth. This helps eradicate infectious tissue, which aids in lowering the count of bacteria that causes the disease. The area is then carefully cleansed and after that the area is naturally restored.
Depending on the depth of the disease, treatment may vary accordingly. If the disease has advanced to the point where periodontal pockets are deep and the supporting bones are ruined, advanced treatment is a necessary. Whatever treatments are exercised, the ultimate goal is to maintain your Oral health and hygiene. Supportive Periodontal Treatment (SPT) will allow the Periodontist in evaluating your overall oral health and ensures that the infection is under control. Periodontal disease is a persistent disease. If proper care, is not given it can reoccur. Go for regular check up and stay with healthy teeth and gums.
