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.
