LANAP = Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure
LAPIP = Laser Assisted Peri-implantitis Procedure
An FDA-cleared laser treatment called the LANAP protocol offers a less painful, more successful treatment alternative to conventional surgery. LANAP=LAR is the only scientifically, research proven methodology that results in true periodontal regeneration, new bone growth and gum tissue reattachment. LANAP and LAR is accomplished with the PerioLase MVP-7. It is a free-running, variable pulsed Nd:YAG laser. The 7 variable pulse durations can be thought of as “different lasers” in one device as they have discrete and discriminating tissue interactions. The LANAP=LAR treatment is one of the most successful protocols in treating gum disease because it can target the source of the inflammation without hurting or removing any healthy gum tissue, slow or stop attachment loss and decrease pocket depth, and allowing the body to recover from the chronic infection without the need for scalpel or sutures.
Originally developed as a simple communication to help patients understand the differences between theLANAP protocol and traditional periodontal surgery, the No Cut, No Sew, No Fear logo helps educate patients and increase treatment acceptance. By helping to reduce the fear associated with gum surgery, we can help more patients receive the treatment they need.
The DIAGNOdent measures laser fluorescence withing tooth structure. As the incident laser light is propagated into the sire, two-way hand piece optics allows the unit to simultaneously quantify the reflected laser light energy. At the specific wavelength that the DIAGNOdent laser operates, clean healthy tooth structure exhibit fluorescence, proportionate to the degree of caries, resulting in elevated scale readings on the display of the DIAGNOdent. An audio signal allows the operator to hear changes in the scale values, enabling focus on the patient and not solely on the device.
This monitor is a highly advanced system that allows Dr. Renger to measure and screen for bruxism (teeth clenching and/or grinding) and possible breathing/airway issues. This testing method is very accurate and is completed in the cozy comfort of your own home and bed.
This state of the art x-ray machine means no more bulky x-ray films in your mouth. It also reduces the exposure to radiation that traditional x-rays can give by up to 77%. This significant accomplishment is also achieved without comprising image quality. The 3D capabilities allow Dr Renger to evaluate, diagnose, and plan procedures with pin point accuracy.
