Episode Summary
Today we’re talking about a treatment that’s changing the way dentists manage periodontal disease—the LANAP protocol with the PerioLase MVP-7 Nd:YAG laser. Dr. Tyler will tell us why LANAP changed the way he saves teeth, and how it’s become a true practice builder—minimally invasive, patient-friendly, and requiring no grafts, membranes, or biologics. It actually regenerates alveolar bone, cementum and PDL.
