Examining the Differences Between Modular and LANAP Periodontal Therapy: FAQs Q: What is LANAP periodontal therapy? A: LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is a minimally invasive laser treatment designed to regenerate lost gum tissue and bone while targeting infected areas. It uses a specialized PerioLase MVP-7 laser to eliminate bacteria and promote healing without the need for cutting or sutures. Q: How does modular periodontal therapy differ from LANAP? A: Modular periodontal therapy is a broader, step-by-step approach that may include scaling and root planing, antibiotics, and conventional surgical methods. Unlike LANAP, it often involves invasive techniques and longer recovery times. Q: Which therapy offers faster recovery? A: LANAP provides faster recovery due to its minimally invasive nature, while modular therapy may require longer downtime, especially after surgical interventions. Q: Is LANAP suitable for all periodontal conditions? A: LANAP is ideal for moderate to severe periodontal disease, but mild cases may benefit from modular approaches like scaling and root planing.
