LONDON, UK: For periodontal treatment, modern Er:YAG lasers have proven to not only eliminate inflamed tissue, but also to preclude the risk of bacteraemia by efficiently fighting resident bacteria. At the last EuroPerio in Vienna, the Japanese Morita Group already demonstrated how this important feature can be used for the effective treatment of peri-implant lesions. Its new AdvErL Evo, which is also on display in London at EuroPerio 8 at booth 23, now covers cases of class-D in comparison to conservative procedures that currently only allow successful peri-implantitis treatment up to CIST class-C.
Presenting its latest Er:YAG laser as a valid treatment option, the company held a satellite symposium at EuroPerio 8 today, where dentist Dr. Michael R. Norton from London focused on the challenges and issues of a peri-implant treatment. Among other things, he discussed whether peri-implantitis was a condition of the primary infective nature of the mouth or an opportunistic secondary infection subsequent to bone loss that is caused by other etiologies.
Norton said that a significant advantage of the laser treatment is that it helps increase the volume of water molecules up to 800—1 000 times. The subsequent micro explosions not only disinfect the implant surface, but also have a sterilising effect, which allows surface debridement without showering the surrounding area with small particles of titanium, which would occur when titanium wire brushes are used.
In a second lecture, the Director of the Department of Periodontology at the University of Bern, Prof. Anton Sculean, underlined the key positive aspects that laser technology offers for the treatment of inflammation of the gums or implant site. According to the professor, Morita’s third generation Er:YAG laser allows a gentle, yet precise intervention that is minimally invasive, silent, painless and without significant vibration or production of heat. Sculean said that these qualities make it suitable for conservative soft and hard tissue treatments, including the removal of supra- or sub-gingival calculus, inflamed and necrotic tissue in gingival pockets and for the treatment of abscesses or granulomas.
Visitors of EuroPerio 8 will be able to test the precision and experience the handling of the AdvErl Evo over the course of the next three days during the ever-popular “Egg-tion” sessions at Morita’s booth. During these sessions, they are invited to engrave a smiley face on the shell of a raw egg with the laser. At the booth they can also find out more information about the company’s other products and activities.
