The LANAP Protocol Explained
The patented LANAP protocol is a minimally invasive surgical method of treating and often reversing gum disease. During the procedure, the PerioLase MVP-7 dental laser is used to gently remove harmful germs and diseased tissue from the gum pocket, keeping healthy tissue intact.
The LANAP protocol is the only laser treatment to receive FDA clearance for True Periodontal Regeneration based on human histological research.
- New cementum
- New periodontal ligament
- New alveolar bone!
Overview of the LANAP Protocol
The drawings below illustrate the LANAP protocol steps:
- Periodontal probe indicates excessive pocket depth
- Laser light removes germs and diseased tissue
- Ultrasonic scaler removes root surface tartar
- Bone modification promotes new tissue growth
- Laser finishes cleaning the pocket, stimulates growth factors, and aids in sealing the pocket closed.
- Healing of gums to clean root surface occurs
- Bite trauma is adjusted
- Tissues and bone regrow and healing occurs
