anap science pros and cons side effects laser gum surgery

Have you been told you need gum surgery? Have you been told about the laser alternative? Have you heard about the negative consequences? What are the Pros and Cons of LANAP? What are the negative side effects of LANP?

This video is about the science of LANAP. LANAP has been in the literature for over 20 years. Consider the speacialty of periodontics was recognized by the ADA in the 1950's. There are periodontists that think there is insufficient science to do LANAP with the Periolase. Those who do not think there is enough science to do LANAP have not looked therefore this video shows most of the science in an understandable format here on YouTube. Not all lasers are the same. It is important to know the Chromafore the laser interacts and is absorbed in the different dental tissues. The periolase would not be a good laser if the dentist wants to cut tooth structure or bone. If the dentist or periodontist wants to treat periodontal disease then the Periolase is the correct laser to use. Not all lasers in dentistry are the same. The dentist or periodontist needs to understand the physics of each laser and know where the laser energy is going to be absorbed. Using the wrong laser for the wrong situation can be devastating to the patient. Take for example unethical companies that claim to do LANAP with an Erbiium laser or a CO2. This is not only unethical but can and does not achieve the results that the studies that have been conducted with the Nd:YAG. The Nd:Yag is absorbed differently in water hydroxyappitite and blood. Those laser companies that claim to do LANAP with an Erbium, Diode or Co2 should be sued for false advertising at a minimum and a class action from the users should be started as soon as possible to avoid any further confusion in the marketplace.
Science for those that need the Science
Dr John McAllister is the author of this, which was published in the Prestigious Peer Reviewed Journal “Compendium”. Link to Article The article portrays the before and after x-rays for three patients treated with the LANAP procedure, along with showing the histological evidence of regeneration linked to the LANAP Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure treatment.

This is another Human Histology regeneration result. Individuals who were identified as needing teeth removal as part of their treatment course of action were asked if they were interested in donating their teeth to science so that everyone would be able to see the results that were occurring with Laser Gum Therapy.
These individuals had one side of their mouth treated using the LANAP and the other side of their mouth treated using the gold standard in gum disease treatment, which is to have the mouth scaled and the root planed. After a three-month period, the teeth were cut out ‘in block,’ which simply means the tooth, gum, and bone were sectioned out as a whole and then put under a microscope for evaluation.
The results were impressive. In 100% of the laser side there was “New Cementum, New Connective Tissue Attachment to the Root Surface in the absence of Long Junctional Epithelium” What this means in lay terms is that individuals saw a reversal in the disease. On the other side where the ‘gold standard’ of SRP was used there was 0% reversal in the disease.

This article is the first peer reviewed article completed on the Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure ANAP. It involved the random audit of x-rays from four private dental offices, using Iamago Digital technology. In 90 percent of cases reviewed, a reduction of 50 percent was seen in pocket depth.

This peer-reviewed article was written by Dr Lloyd, and published in the Academy of General Dentistry, titled “LANAP in Private Practice – Effectiveness as Measured by Tooth Loss” Read the LANAP Research
In this article the therapeutic index of the two laser types, the Diode and the Nd: YAG, were examined. The therapeutic index is defined by the ratio of the laser energy dose that destroys pathogens therapeutic dose to the energy dose that damages normal tissue toxic dose.
Therapeutic dose: A Level that destroys pathogens
Toxic dose: B Level that destroys normal tissue
Therapeutic index: B/A
For these experiments the therapeutic indices using our Pg biofilm soft tissue model are:
Diode 1
Nd:YAG
The difference in therapeutic index between Nd:YAG and diode shows that the pulsed Nd:YAG has a 16 times greater selectivity for destruction of pig
