Periodontal Laser Procedures The LANAP® Protocol Rochester NY
Another recent development in periodontal treatment is the use of lasers to regenerate tissue. Utilizing the body’s own natural ability to “heal itself”, Dr. Weiss may perform Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (The LANAP® Protocol). Performed without a scalpel and sutures, the laser could create an environment for regeneration of the tissues around your teeth (gum, bone, cementum, ligament) that are lost due to periodontal disease.
