Millennium Dental Technologies Milestones
November 2001
-
First digital dental laser in the world cleared by the
FDA
-
First company to obtain regulatory clearance for
"laser curettage" (removal of diseased or inflamed
soft tissue in the periodontal pocket)
The ONLY company to receive clearance for a patented
periodontal procedure
called Laser Periodontal Therapy™ (LPT) and cleared to
use LPT to improve:
-
Gingival Index (GI) - Improving the quality, quantity
and severity of disease;
-
Gingival Bleeding Index (GBI) - Reduce bleeding from
the gums;
-
Probe Depth (PD) - Reduce the depth of the periodontal
pocket;
-
Attachment Level (AL) - Increase the level of tissue
attachment;
-
Tooth Mobility (TM) - Lessen loose teeth.
These new clinical claims validate the successful use of
the PerioLase™ and Laser Peridontal Therapy™ without using
scalpels or sutures.
October 1, 2004
Millennium Dental Technologies is the first to receive
the unique and exclusive FDA clearance for a complete
periodontal disease treatment protocol Laser Assisted
“New Attachment” Procedure™ (Laser ANAP), for
"cementum-mediated new periodontal ligament attachment
to the root surface
in the absence of long junctional epithelium."
FDA clearance for the PerioLase™ MVP-7™ & the Laser ANAP
procedure follows three years research at Louisiana
State University, School of Dentistry, New Orleans, by
principal investigator, Professor Raymond A. Yukna, DMD,
MS, and coordinator of post-graduate periodontics at LSU.
Professor Yukna led a controlled, blinded, clinical and
human histology study that evidenced new root surface
coating (cementum) and new connective tissue formation
(collagen) on teeth following the use of the PerioLase™
MVP-7™ & Laser ANAP protocol.
