LANAP - An alternative solution to flap surgery: Gum diseases like gingivitis and periodontitis when left untreated, carry the risk of tooth loss, mal-aligned dentition and spread to systemic circulation worsening pre-existing medical conditions. However, fear of postoperative distress precludes many patients from opting for conventional surgical therapeutic treatments. The advent of lasers in dentistry has revolutionized treatment options and in this regard, minimally invasive procedures like LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) have garnered a lot of recognition. This treatment protocol enables removal of diseased tissue and promotion of healing with scientific reports even affirming regeneration of lost tissues, thereby serving as a competent alternative to surgery. Treatment procedure: The procedure is performed under topical or local anesthesia. The first pass of laser causes a troughing of the tissues that helps to clear away the unhealthy infected tissue lining. The second pass of the laser follows which disinfects the epithelium and stabilizes the healing clot. This procedure does not require placement of sutures or surgical dressing.
