Laser Therapy

Laser Assisted Periodontal Therapy (LAPT) is a treatment for gum disease, combining the traditional therapy of Scaling and Root Planing (SRP) with debridement technique of laser therapy to heal the diseased gums .Dental laser utilizes high-energy beam of light through a thin fiber to not only kills the bacteria infecting the gum and roots of the teeth, but also aids in the clotting (coagulation) of exposed blood vessels, thus inhibiting bleeding. It stimulates the root to form new root coating, cement, and helps in reconnecting the collagen fibers to the roots repairing the periodontal ligament. It is the new way of healing the gums, without surgeries, that involve flapping the gums and introducing bacteria in a fragile eco system of gums.
