Recent Studies Demonstrate BIOLASE’s Waterlase Laser Technology is Beneficial for Treatment of Peri-Implantitis
- announced today that recent data published in two journals, the International Journal of Periodontics & Restorative Dentistry and Lasers in Medical Science, demonstrates BIOLASE’s Waterlase Er,Cr:YSGG laser technology can be beneficial for the treatment of peri-implantitis in patients suffering from the inflammatory disease.
- In a first-of-its-kind human histological study led by Dr. Myron Nevins, researchers reported that the Er,Cr:YSGG laser has a positive role in debridement of a titanium implant surface to facilitate subsequent regenerative treatment. The findings suggest the value that BIOLASE’s Waterlase technology has for dentists who are seeking devices that can assist in periodontal treatments.
- Similarly, data published in Lasers in Medical Science by Drs. David M. Kim and Dr. Chia-Yu (Jennifer) Chen, displays that the Er,Cr:YSGG laser effectively decreases bacteria from zirconia discs. Furthermore, fibroblast attachments on the surfaces of the zirconia discs show more adherence when treated with Er,Cr:YSGG laser technology. There is a significant increase in the number of zirconia dental implants being placed throughout the world.
“Although studies can vary, data suggests as much as 56% of people with dental implants may have peri-implantitis,” said John Beaver, CEO of BIOLASE. “Unfortunately, treatment methods for peri-implantitis can be painful, costly, ineffective and unpredictable. The findings of these recent studies confirm that Waterlase laser technology can be a more viable treatment option than alternative methods. We look forward to continuing to provide dentists with minimally invasive treatment options through advanced laser technology that benefits their patients.”
