Saving/Rescuing Endosseous Dental Implants with All Tissue Laser Technology

Paul Chang, DDS, MS and Samuel B. Low DDS, MS, MEd

An interactive case presentation demonstrating long term results with reversing implant disease will be presented including positive patient scripting/interaction and billing/coding.

  • Closed versus open flap access decision
  • Time effective degranulation
  • Implant surface de-contamination with Er,Cr: YSGG lasers
  • De-cortication and addition of osseous augmentation and biologics to achieve re-osteointegration

Dr. Paul Chang discusses why successfully managing peri-implantitis is more important than ever.

REPAIR IMPLANT™

A better way to manage peri-implantitis

  • Waterlase’s proprietary YSGG wavelength is effective in removing surface contamination and facilitating subsequent regenerative treatment.1
  • Gain effective subgingival access for decontamination of implant surfaces and in between threads with unique side firing tip.
  • Effectively debride the implant surface without damagingor significantly affecting the surface temperature of titanium implants. 1
  • Bone to implant contact can be reestablished on a previously contaminated implant surface following REPAIR Protocol.1*
  • Tissue regeneration can be achieved using Waterlase®, as confirmed by human histology.1

This investigation was designed to evaluate the reestablishment of bone-to-implant contact on infected dental surfaces following decontamination with Er,Cr:YSGG laser and reconstructive therapy.

“Having used various laser wavelengths for over 15 years, I have found the Waterlase Express platform to be the most advanced, versatile, and user-friendly interface for my practice’s focus on periodontology and dental implant surgery.”

“70-80% of my failing patients responded well to this therapy, where they had not responded well to other treatment options in the past. 80-90% of those had a great response over one year. They all said they were glad to have chosen the laser over traditional surgery based on their comfort level.”

“Waterlase REPAIR is a highly effective, more aesthetic and more comfortable alternative to traditional surgical procedures for my patients.”

“Utilizing the incomparable Waterlase is a daily part of my practice. It seems I am trying to save a failing implant, treat a periodontally involved tooth, biopsy a lesion, or treat other soft tissue defects every day, and I cannot imagine my practice without the Waterlase. I would highly recommend every dentist have this instrument in her/his office. Your patients will thank you."
