A Revolution In Periodontal Treatment From Biolase

On 29th October 2009, BIOLASE Technology’s Waterlase MD™ and patented Radial Firing Perio Tips™ was FDA approved.

In a statement from one of the key clinical researchers, Dr. Bret Dyer, the benefits to periodontal treatment were explained “Both referring dentists and patients want to avoid swelling, pain, and possible gum recession of flap surgery. In my formal research and in clinical practice, I have found that Deep Pocket Therapy is a highly effective, more aesthetic and more comfortable alternative to traditional surgical procedures for my patients.”

Used as a non-surgical alternative treatment in moderate to advanced gum disease the Waterlase MD provides enormous benefit to patients in need of periodontal treatment and deep pocket treatments, making the procedure possible within a single visit.

Effectively eliminating the need for scalpel, stitches or the conventional cutting of the gums, the Waterlase MD assists in providing a greatly increased level of comfort and convenience from treatment.

BIOLASE Chief Executive Officer David M. Mulder also stated that, “We and our global partners are proud to be assisting the periodontal community in delivering products and techniques that reduce patient anxiety and encourage patients with moderate to advanced periodontal disease to pursue the treatment they need.”
