LASER TREATMENT FOR GUM DISEASE

Lasers can be used to treat periodontal disease. Current controlled studies have shown that similar results have been found with the laser compared to specific other treatment options, including scaling and root planing alone. Scaling and root planning is a traditional non-surgical therapy used to treat periodontal diseases.

CAN THE USE OF LASERS IN PERIODONTAL THERAPY HARM PATIENTS?

Yes and no. Each laser has different wavelengths and power levels that can be used safely during different periodontal procedures. However, damage to periodontal tissues can result if a laser with an inappropriate wavelength and/or power level is used during a periodontal procedure.

DOES THE RESEARCH ON LASERS SUPPORT THEIR USE IN PERIODONTICS AT THIS TIME?

At this time, there is insufficient evidence to suggest that any specific laser wavelength is superior to the traditional treatment methods of common periodontal diseases, such as periodontitis.

CAN I TRUST THE CLAIMS IN AN AD FOR PERIODONTAL THERAPY PERFORMED WITH A LASER?

It is important to beware of advertising that sounds too good to be true because it very well may be. A dental professional can help you separate fact from hype.
