Millennium Dental Technologies reports 49 percent of AAP members trained in LANAP protocol
Nearly half of the American Academy of Periodontology members have completed training for the Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure, according to Millennium Dental Technologies.
Millennium Dental Technologies announced that 49% of active members of the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) are now certified in the Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP). The protocol is a laser-based treatment utilized for patients suffering from moderate to severe periodontitis.
The widespread adoption of this training reflects a broader shift toward minimally invasive surgical techniques in dental practice. By utilizing specific laser technology, practitioners seek to manage gum disease while aiming to reduce patient downtime and discomfort compared to traditional scalpel-based surgery.
As the training reach expands, the accessibility of laser-assisted periodontal care is expected to grow across the United States. Millennium Dental Technologies continues to be the primary developer and provider of the equipment and training required to perform the protocol.
