Millennium Dental Technologies Secures New U.S. Patent for Laser-Assisted Periodontal Treatment

Millennium Dental Technologies, Inc., a pioneer in dental laser technology, has recently announced the granting of a new U.S. patent (#12,011,326) for its revolutionary laser-assisted treatment designed for periodontal conditions. This development marks a significant milestone in the field of dentistry, particularly concerning the LANAP® (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) protocol, which utilizes the advanced PerioLase® MVP-7™, a free-running variable-pulsed NdYAG laser.

What Makes This Technology Unique?

The LANAP protocol is groundbreaking as it addresses the core of periodontal disease without damaging surrounding healthy gum tissue. Unlike conventional surgery, this method is minimally invasive and focuses on removing harmful bacteria while preserving healthy tissue. The comprehensive abilities of the PerioLase MVP-7 make it an essential tool for dental professionals aiming to treat moderate to severe periodontal disease effectively.

Being the sole FDA-cleared laser treatment for periodontitis, the LANAP protocol brings unparalleled clinical proof of True Regeneration™. This means that patients undergoing this treatment have a higher chance of experiencing new periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone formation, thereby fostering long-term dental health.

Importance of Gum Disease Awareness Month

Timely coinciding with Gum Disease Awareness Month, recognized across all 50 U.S. states and several Canadian provinces, this patent highlights the urgency of detecting and treating gum disease early on. An alarming statistic indicates that up to 85% of adults suffer from some form of periodontal disease, which is the primary cause of tooth loss. By advancing laser technology, Millennium Dental Technologies aims to mitigate these risks and improve oral health outcomes.

Comprehensive Treatment Options

Millennium Dental Technologies does not stop with the LANAP protocol. The company offers unique procedures that can only be performed using their PerioLase MVP-7. These include:

• - LAPIP™ Protocol: Focused on saving failing dental implants.
• - BLAST™ Protocol: Aimed at preventing peri-implantitis and enhancing the integration of implants.
• - VAPS™ (Value-Added Procedures): A variety of laser techniques addressing issues such as temporomandibular joint disorders, hemangiomas, fibromas, and more.

Such innovations manifest the company’s commitment to offering a comprehensive suite of options tailored specifically for their patients’ needs.

Supporting Outreach and Education

Millennium Dental Technologies remains dedicated to improving patient access to laser periodontal treatment. They have taken significant steps by pledging to provide complimentary LANAP treatments for approximately 100 patients annually through their partnership with the Institute for Advanced Laser Dentistry (IALD), a non-profit organization focused on eradicating periodontitis. To date, this initiative has benefited over 1600 patients, translating into more than $16 million in free dental treatment.

The Vision Ahead

With its headquarters in Cerritos, California, Millennium Dental Technologies positions itself as a frontrunner in the realm of dental laser-assisted regeneration technology. The vision of Dr. Robert H. Gregg II, founder and president, is to enhance clinical outcomes for patients suffering from periodontal disease. By staying true to their principle that “It’s all about the patient,” the company continues to lead the industry in innovative treatment options and patient satisfaction.
