Periodontal Disease Treatments with Dental Lasers

Periodontal Treatment by Hygenists The American Academy of Periodontology’s (AAP) guidelines emphasize that “periodontal health should be achieved in the least invasive and most cost-effective manner to the patient.” This is accomplished with Non-Surgical Periodontal treatment, which is typically a regimen of scaling and root planing and other minimally invasive methods of mitigation.

Gum Disease With the addition of minimally invasive BIOLASE lasers into the non-surgical perio regimen, a Dental Hygienist (where local and state regulations permit) can offer the benefits of non-surgical laser therapy to their patients while providing state-of-the-art care. Epic X and iLase diode lasers are an adjunct to traditional scaling and root planing and can reduce post-treatment bleeding.
