Biolase announced that approximately 400 dental professionals attended a September panel discussion about a July study on the company's Repair Perio laser for periodontitis management.
During the panel, two study authors and a panel of periodontists reviewed the design and findings of the July 2 study in the Journal of Periodontology.
In the study, lead author Donald Chema, DDS, and colleagues compared periodontal flap surgery with Repair's protocol for periodontitis. The researchers evaluated Biolase's Repair Perio process with the conventional minimally invasive surgical technique (MIST) in 54 patients; they found superior patient-related outcomes for the Biolase laser, according to the company.
