Laser Assisted Periodontal Therapy (LAPT)
LAPT is
used during deep
dental
cleanings,
such
as root planing
and
curettage procedures, to
remove the
diseased, infected,
inflamed,
and dead soft
tissue
within the
deep
gum
pocket.
This
is a non-surgical procedure, which
does
not involve the
use
of
a
scalpel, and
does
not require
stitches.
The
removal of the
dead tissue with
the dental laser also sterilizes the
gum
pocket and
kills
the harmful bacteria throughout
the
procedure. The dental laser
stimulates
rapid healing
of the soft
tissue,
while routinely reducing the size of the gum
pockets
and
promoting
the bone
regeneration
around our patient’s
teeth,
which results
in
a
healthier mouth. The laser treatment,
in
addition
to
traditional
scaling
and
root
planning
procedures,
can often
take
the
place
of
surgical periodontal gum
procedures.
