1 What are the Benefits of LANAP? What is LANAP? Getting to know the Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure LANAP Fact: 2 LANAP is the only predictable procedure that actually helps the bone supporting your teeth to regenerate. This laser-based approach to treating gum disease makes it easier for you to return your gums to full health. And the best part? It s far more comfortable than traditional surgery. The LANAP procedure (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) utilizes safe and proven laser technology to gently remove harmful bacteria and diseased tissue from the gums. Through targeted removal of bacteria, laser-assisted periodontal surgery stimulates the body to heal naturally and stimulates regeneration of healthy gum tissue. With LANAP, there is no cutting, no stitches, less pain, and a quicker, easier recovery. LANAP has absolutely no contraindications, so patients that are on medications (such as blood thinners) are able to receive treatment for conditions they d previously be unable to receive. Little Pain The LANAP procedure is non-invasive and does not require extensive cutting, sutures, or stitches. The PerioLase MVP-7 offers biostimulation which gives faster recuperation and also makes the need for postoperative pain drugs minimal. Minimal Downtime The majority of individuals return back to their daily lives after the surgical procedure and back to eating and drinking regularly within a full week. Minimal to No Gum Line Removal Because the technique only takes out diseased tissue, gum line recession is greatly reduced. This maintains the look of a healthy smile. Regenerates Bone & Tissue LANAP is the only standard protocol that is scientifically confirmed and FDA-cleared to regenerate osseous bone and tissue. Helps Save Teeth Patients can keep their natural teeth, in most cases, compared to similar outcomes with traditional gum disease treatment procedures. Reduces Gum Swelling and Blood Loss LANAP could clear away about 90% of periodontal inflamation after one visit. The PerioLase MVP-7 destroys microbes without hurting healthy gum tissue (and actually stimulates the regeneration of health tissue). Minimal Bleeding PerioLase MVP-7 controls bleeding throughout the procedure through the formation of normal forming blood clots, reducing risk of blood loss as well as other adverse problems. Faster Recovery LANAP procedure is minimally invasive, allowing for a quick recovery. 3

Perio probe indicates excessive pocket depth B. Laser light removes bacteria and diseased tissue C. Ultrasonic scaler and special hand instruments are used to remove root surface tartar. D. Laser finishes cleaning the pocket and aids in sealing the pocket. E. Bite is adjusted. F. New attachment and bone growth to the clean root surface occurs. G. Bone and gum tissue regeneration occurs. 4 The LANAP procedure (laser-assisted new attachment procedure) utilizes safe and proven laser technology to gently remove harmful bacteria and diseased tissue from the gums. Through targeted removal of bacteria, laser-assisted periodontal surgery stimulates the body to heal naturally and stimulates regeneration of healthy gum tissue. If you are in need of periodontal surgery, choosing To select the best option for you, it is vitally important LANAP, there is no cutting, less pain, and a quicker, easier recovery. betweenwith traditional surgical methods and laserno stitches, to understand the key differences between traditional periodontal treatments is very important. periodontal surgery and LANAP laser gum surgery. LANAP is the only FDA-cleared laser-based treatment for gum disease on the market. Traditional Perio Surgery With LANAP Patient does not need to be put to sleep No scalpels used to intrusively cut gums Preserves good, healthy tissue Helps reattach gum to root without need for grafting Preserves gum line height Avoids need for extractions in most cases Does not require invasive sutures Prescription pain medicine not typically necessary 24 hour recovery time with minimal discomfort Minimal time in-chair for procedure 98% of laser-treated patients remain stable after five years 5

Osseous bone Osseous bone Is LANAP an approved protocol? LANAP is the only FDA-cleared dental laser protocol available for gum disease. Its unique ability to destroy the gum bacteria while leaving healthy tissue untouched is backed by histological studies and scientific research. Who is a good patient for LANAP? Nearly one in two of every U.S. adult has some form of gum disease. Many are eligible for the LANAP procedure, especially those with the following criteria: Patients that want to save their natural teeth Patients intolerant to periodontal therapy Patients with failing dental implants 5mm pockets and greater Isolated vertical defects Medically compromised patients Patients with high anxiety or a history of procrastination seeking treatment. How much does it cost? Is it covered by insurance? The average cost per quadrant for LANAP is about $1500 (though it may vary based on patient conditions). Traditional periodontal surgery can actually end up costing more in the long (and even short) run. Many providers offer payment plans or participate with financing providers, such as CareCredit. And many insurance companies will actually cover the LANAP procedure if coded properly by the dental care provider. Are you worried your dental implants might be failing? For many patients with dental implants, dental implant failures are becoming more common due to advanced periodontal disease. Ask about LAPIP (Laser Assisted Peri-Implantitis Procedure), the laser-assisted treatment to help save your dental implants! 7

FAQs Continued Is LANAP painful? LANAP treatments offer significantly less pain and discomfort than what is typically associated with traditional cut-and-suture dental surgery. Patients experience little pain as the laser manipulates gums and removes bacteria and damaged tissue without invasive cutting or sutures. The laser targets only bacteria and diseased tissue, so healthy tissue is not adversely affected and largely pain-free. In fact, LANAP has been shown to actually regenerate gum tissue and osseous bone (see next section for more information on LANAP and True Regeneration ). 4 Did you Know? People diagnosed with periodontal disease have as high as a 72% increased risk of heart disease. One of the ways to your heart is through your gums! What is innovative about LANAP? The LANAP Laser Gum Disease Treatment utilizes the focused PerioLase MVP-7 laser device to give a non-invasive therapy to eliminate periodontal disease. The process uniquely targets and eliminates the bacteria that result in gum disease, clears away harmed periodontal tissue, and can help develop new attachment back to the tooth s bone support system. The LANAP procedure manages gum disease surgery without the pain, gum tissue pocket recession, and nerve sensitivity typically related to periodontal procedures. Also, LANAP provides predictable long-term benefits. Is laser dentistry more expensive? In most cases, laser dentistry is similar to the cost of traditional periodontal surgery but it is dependent on the severity of the gum disease. Most doctors prefer laser surgery as it offers the patient a better experience. In some cases, laser dentistry is necessary for successful treatment. Additionally, laser dentistry has a higher long-term success rate, decreasing the likelihood of incurring additional costs from multiple treatments. Overall, the benefits far outweigh the costs. Healing lost tissue & osseous bone True Regeneration with LANAP LANAP has been FDA-cleared to regenerate lost gum tissue and osseous bone. LANAP has received the world s first and only FDA clearance for tissue regeneration, by demonstrating that tissues lost to disease can be fully regenerated, including a return to functional health, without mutation, destruction of tissue or adverse side effects. Repair, for example, is not regeneration. Regeneration is return to normal architecture and functional health; repair is not. True regeneration can be obtained despite the presence of periodontal disease - one of the most stubborn, persistent, and widespread infectious diseases. -Surgeon General and the CDC 2010 NHANES report in the Journal of Dental Research on the prevalence of periodontal disease.
