Periodontal
diseases are an inflammatory condition caused by the presence of bacteria.
Periodontal therapy is to incision the granulation and suppressing or
eliminating the bacteria.
Operation procedure:
1. To calibrate
the fiber and the tip, measure the length of fiber so it equals the pocket
depth, minus 1 mm
2. Initiate
the fiber at 400um by touching the tip to articulating paper and test firing.
3. To
begin sulcular debridement, insert the fiber in a vertical direction toward the
bottom of the pocket with the laser tip oriented toward the soft tissue facing
the pocket
4. Move
the fiber in a horizontal and vertical fashion at a slow, moderate speed, keeping
the fiber tip in contact with the epithelium and/or parallel to the root
surface.
5. Debride
all granulation tissue, and as necessary, remove plume and debris with
high-volume evacuation.
