Periodontics is the branch of dentistry that concentrates on the health of the gums and supporting tissues of the teeth has progressed significantly over the past decade. As oral health continues to be a key component of overall  health, we are seeing many innovative techniques emerge in the field of periodontics that are changing the way dental professionals treat and manage gum disease. At Olivvina, we are at the forefront of these new developments, implementing the newest technologies, including laser periodontal therapy.

The Evolution of Periodontics

Historically, if you had periodontal disease, you would undergo an invasive procedure, typically either scaling and root planning or perhaps even surgery if it were in a more serious state. Although these remain effective treatment options, they often come with some drawbacks, including discomfort and longer recovery.

The demand for less invasive procedures has led to the development of laser periodontal therapy, a revolutionary approach that is transforming periodontics. This technique harnesses the power of laser technology to treat gum disease in a more precise and controlled manner, offering a host of benefits over traditional methods.

What is Laser Periodontal Therapy?

Laser periodontal therapy involves the use of a specialized laser to target and remove diseased tissue from the gums while preserving healthy tissue. The laser also helps to disinfect the area, reducing the risk of infection and promoting faster healing. This method is particularly effective in treating moderate to severe periodontal disease, where traditional methods may fall short.

A major advantage of laser periodontal therapy is that it has the ability to target the affected areas without damaging the surrounding periodontium. This leads to less bleeding, less swelling and a more comfortable overall experience for the patient.

The Benefits of Laser Periodontal Therapy

Laser periodontal therapy offers numerous benefits that make it an attractive option for both patients and practitioners. Some of the most notable advantages include:

• Faster Recovery: The precision of the laser means that there is less trauma to the surrounding tissues, leading to quicker healing times. Patients can often return to their normal activities shortly after the procedure.
• Reduced Risk of Infection: The laser used in laser periodontal therapy helps to sterilize the treatment area, minimizing the risk of infection and promoting a healthier healing process.
• Effective Results: Laser periodontal therapy is highly effective in treating periodontal disease, helping to halt its progression and preserve the health of the gums and supporting structures. The regenerative effects of the laser also contribute to long-lasting results.
• Improved Patient Experience: The less invasive nature of laser periodontal therapy leads to a more comfortable treatment experience, which can be beneficial for patients who are sensitive or have a low pain threshold.
