Lecture Topic:
The MVP-7 PerioLase: A Unique Instrument In The Field OF Periodontics And Dental Implant Surgery For Both Titanium and Ceramic Implants

Abstract :

The PerioLase MVP-7 was introduced to the dental community more than 25 years ago. Since that time, it has become an invaluable instrument for more than half of the periodontal community and a large number of general dentists and oral surgeons for the treatment of periodontitis and peri-implantitis.
During our time together, you will come to understand how LANAP-Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure and LAPIP-Laser Assisted Peri –Implant Procedure are so effective and why so many patients are actively seeking dental practitioners who are providing these minimally invasive treatment modalities. We will discuss how the laser can potentiate and optimize hard and soft tissue healing of the peri-implant tissues at the time of implant placement. These principals can apply to ceramic dental implant surgery as well.

Finally, you will see numerous treated clinical cases supporting the efficacy of these treatment concepts.

At the conclusion of this course, the attendee should be able to:

Understand the physics unique to the MVP-7 PerioLase
Understand the protocols for treating periodontitis and peri-implantitis
Understand how the PerioLase can be beneficial for ceramic implant placement
