One of the more exciting applications of dental lasers is in their application in periodontal disease. For years now dentists on the leading edge of periodontal care have been devising ways to incorporate these excellent tools into their patient's care. Our office has been using lasers as an adjunct to our periodontal program since 2007. The recent addition of the Odyssey Laser has added an exciting new dimension to our periodontal care. Lasers are characterized by their wavelength; each type of laser having certain clinical advantages and disadvantages. Laser periodontal protocols take advantage of each machines characteristics, and uses wavelengths popular in treating gum disease, allowing us to take advantage of all the abilities of each device without the limitations of a single wavelength. We combine this with modern technology with genetic (DNA) testing that results in a thorough & effective protocol.
