(MDT), the developer of the FDA-cleared LANAP@ protocol for the
treatment of moderate to severe gum disease and the manufacturer of
the PerioLase@ MVP-7 digital dental
laser(http://ctt.marketwire.com/?release861906&id1362106&type1&urlhttp%3a%2f%2...),
showcased the LANAP technique's clinically proven outcomes and
impressive results at the annual meeting of the Academy of
OsseoIntegration (AO) in Phoenix this month. Backed by science and
advanced research, MDT was the only laser manufacturer at the meeting,
and attendees were impressed by the full-mouth treatment results as
well as implant treatment successes exhibited. In addition, clinicians
previewed the company's ground-breaking product-display enhancement
for the PerioLase@ MVP-7 featuring the first and only Android-based
control screen in the dental laser industry. The upgrade provides true
laser-device upgradability and enhancements using revolutionary
components and is fully backward compatible.
"We are proud that the overwhelming science, advanced research and
unprecedented clinical outcomes behind the LANAP technique allowed us
to make a strong showing at this high-caliber event," says Millennium
Dental Technologies president and co-founder Robert H. Gregg II, DDS,
a practicing dentist and co-developer of the LANAP protocol for the
treatment of gum disease. "To our knowledge, other laser companies
lack this type of scientific evidence, and were conspicuous in their
absence at this meeting. We were pleased to openly share our proven
regenerative outcomes with this group of professionals who certainly
understand the importance of bone regrowth extremely well."
In the field of laser dentistry, those who have actively and
continuously added to the body of knowledge, innovations, science and
manufacturing for an extended period of time are few and far between.
Although the LANAP@ protocol has been proven in multiple studies, MDT
is still committed to acceptance through research. The annual AO
meeting provided an ideal opportunity for MDT to review its latest
research as well as the LANAP protocol's exciting regenerative results
in detail. It also provided a preview of the company's
first-of-its-kind integration of Android technology into a laser
periodontal-treatment device.
Millennium Dental Technologies co-founders Drs. Gregg and Delwin
McCarthy have been dedicated to advanced laser periodontal treatment
for more than 20 years. The pair identified the safe and effective
combination of operating parameters that evolved into the critical
operations of the LANAP protocol through their research in the early
1990s. This month, Dr. Lloyd Tilt, the first periodontist to adopt the
technique, published clinical data collected over 12 years of
performing the LANAP procedure. The clinical review details impressive
tooth survival over time. Dr. Mark Nevins, a LANAP-trained physician
since 2009, also added to the LANAP protocol's vast body of research
by presenting a human histological study of the treatment that at the
American Academy for Periodontology Corporate Forum in November 2011.
Perhaps most impressively, last August, the company launched a
University-based, five-center study comparing LANAP treatment to
traditional scalpel-and-suture gum disease therapy. The study will
follow 75 targeted patients for 12 months, with preliminary results
expected in 2013.
An increasing number of dental professionals are taking notice of the
FDA-cleared procedure for treating gum disease without the
traditional, painful cut-and-sew technique. The LANAP protocol
utilizes a laser to clear away infection without cutting the gums,
resulting in clinically proven regenerative outcomes. Patients
experience far less post-operative pain, require fewer treatment
sessions and enjoy quicker recovery times and lasting results. To
