Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP) is a treatment used to treat periodontal (gum) disease. It is designed to treat periodontal disease through regeneration, instead of resection. This means that there are benefits with LANAP, here are a few:
-Less discomfort before and after the procedure
-Safe for patients with health issues
-Less than 24 hour recovery period
-Longer-lasting results
What procedures use the LANAP?
LANAP is not a one-in-all dental procedure tool. The Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure is designed to treat only those with periodontal disease. Here is a brief overview of how the treatment of periodontal disease with LANAP would be done:
-You will be put under a local anesthetic
-The laser will remove the diseased tissue and sterilize the pocket
-The laser will loosen the hard deposits, making it easier to remove
-The laser will be then used to create a sticky blood clot
-The clot will be pressed against to ensure a seal on the pocket
-Over the next 6-18 months the body will heal forming a new connective tissue
