Periodontal disease affects the gums and supporting structures around the teeth. When gum disease progresses, it can lead to gum inflammation, bleeding, gum recession, bone loss, and eventually tooth mobility.
Laser-assisted periodontal treatment uses dental laser technology as part of selected periodontal procedures to help manage diseased or infected tissues.
Depending on the patient's condition, laser technology may be incorporated into periodontal treatment alongside conventional dental techniques. Treatment is determined according to the severity of gum disease and individual clinical requirements.
Laser treatment is not automatically appropriate for every gum condition. A detailed periodontal evaluation is important before deciding whether laser-assisted treatment is suitable.
