The innovative LANAP® technology is available in the city of Cartagena thanks to the constant evolution of the Sonrisa Perfecta Dental spa-type clinic. The information was announced by Dr. Tarsys Loayza Roys, general director of this specialized center, located in the exclusive sector of Bocagrande.
The professional, considered one of the best dentists in Colombia, stated that the acquisition of this technology responds to the new quality standards. She indicated that, as a leading clinic in high aesthetics and quality, they are obliged to maintain continuous renewal in procedures. The goal is always to provide the best.
What is LANAP® technology?
The term LANAP® means “laser-assisted new attachment procedure” in Spanish. It is a methodology that, as its name indicates, uses a variable light wavelength capable of attacking diseased gum tissue. Its precision allows the specialized and properly trained dentist to proceed without damaging the patient’s healthy tissue.
It is a cutting-edge procedure that has been tested in numerous studies and authorized by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) of the United States. This treatment consists not only of eliminating damaged tissue, but also of stimulating the regeneration of new tissue. This allows the gums to reconnect to the surface of the teeth.
Advantages of LANAP® technology over traditional surgery
This new surgical intervention methodology is a procedure whose greatest characteristic and advantage is safety. It is a non-invasive procedure that completely eliminates the need to cut and/or sew the gum tissue. For these reasons, it is a safe alternative that involves minimal discomfort and a shorter recovery period.
Dr. Tarsys Loayza Roys explains that dental hypersensitivity after treatment is zero or minimal, depending on the initial state of each patient. As healing is much faster, patients can resume their eating habits almost immediately. In fact, its recovery period is 24 hours on average. All of this makes this periodontal surgery alternative much safer than traditional surgery.
An advantage that patients highly value is that it is a treatment that is not painful. That is why in a very short time it has become an ally of the most competent dentists to combat odontophobia. This is the term that defines the extreme fear that some people feel when visiting the dentist.
This is the procedure with this methodology
In the Sonrisa Perfecta Dental spa-type clinic, the execution of the procedure with this new technology is very meticulous. First of all, Dr. Tarsys Loayza Roys proceeds to carry out a meticulous evaluation of the patient’s initial situation. The result of this study is crucial to determine if the patient is a candidate to undergo the treatment.
When deciding to apply LANAP® technology, the first step is to measure the depths of the bone to determine the magnitude of bone loss. With the laser, bacteria and diseased tissues found inside these cavities, caused by periodontal disease, are eliminated. These cavities are also known as “pockets,” which are the places where the diseased tissue is found.
When cleaning cavities or pockets, the laser is also used to seal them and thus prevent new bacteria or germs from entering. The next step is to clean the disinfected root surfaces. Part of this deep cleaning involves removing tartar from the surface and roots of the teeth. This procedure is carried out with a specially designed ultrasonic device.
Once the healing is complete, the bite trauma caused by the periodontal disease is adjusted. As a complement, tissue reinsertion is carried out to leave shallow and completely healthy pockets. This last step is important because it prevents new bacterial attacks on the gums and allows for a more beautiful aesthetic smile.
Who are candidates to undergo this procedure
The answer to this question from Dr. Tarsys Loayza Roys is that anyone who has periodontal disease is a good candidate. It is such a safe procedure that it even works for patients who are pregnant or diabetic. Side effects are non-existent when LANAP® technology is applied correctly.
