La FDA aprobó la reversión por Láser de la Enfermedad Periodontal.
Procedimiento de Nueva Colocación Asistida por Láser o LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure)

Los doctores Gallardo y Lamas se complacen en anunciar la llegada del PerioLase Láser a la ciudad de Miami. Esta terapia láser patentada, autorizada por la FDA, de forma similar a lo que hizo el LASIK para los problemas oculares, nos permite tratar a los pacientes periodontales con un procedimiento de incisión mínimamente invasivo. Por primera vez está disponible, la Terapia Periodontal LáserTM   para nuestros pacientes, que de otra manera deberían someterse a cirugía periodontal para el tratamiento de la enfermedad periodontal.

Usted podría ser una más entre el 75% de las personas que padecen enfermedad periodontal en los Estados Unidos, la mayor causa de pérdida de dientes en adultos. Hasta ahora, esto implicaba cirugía y suturas. Sin embargo, ahora que nuestra oficina ofrece LANAPTM, puede estar tranquilo sabiendo que los doctores Gallardo y Lamas continúan brindando tecnología y cuidados de clase mundial.

Una mirada al procedimiento

Implantes Dentales - Son dientes que lucen y se sienten como si fueran los propios! Cuando se pierde una pieza dental, lo mejor es reemplazarla con un implante lo más pronto posible. Después de la pérdida de un diente, la carga que soporta cada uno de los restantes aumenta, al distribuirse entre menos dientes que antes. Para restaurar la capacidad de masticación apropiada, es necesario aumentar el soporte perdido por el diente faltante.

A fin de comparar la eficiencia de la masticación, imaginemos que un paciente con todos sus dientes naturales puede masticar con un 100% de eficiencia. Con cualquier diente perdido, la eficiencia masticatoria disminuye según los dientes sean reemplazados o no. Por último, si ha perdido toda la dentadura, el paciente tendrá entre un 15 y un 18% de la eficiencia masticatoria (aun con una dentadura postiza correctamente fijada sobre las crestas óseas adecuadas).

Los implantes dentales están diseñados para proveer una base que permita que los dientes de reemplazo luzcan, se sientan y cumplan con las mismas funciones que los dientes naturales. La persona que ha perdido dientes recupera su capacidad para comer casi cualquier alimento y puede sonreír con confianza, en la seguridad de que sus dientes lucen naturales y que mantiene su contorno facial.

Choose Tried-and-True Methods to Treat Gum Disease
Mar 2010

Miracle cures, or quick fixes, have been around for centuries; certain foods, ointments, or potions have claimed to cure everything from hair loss to cancer. Marketed as quick, easy, and painless, these miracle cures often are not backed by science or approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which means that they may do more harm than good. Similar quick fixes that claim to treat periodontal disease are no different. Though elements of these quick and easy periodontal "cures" may be FDA approved, there may be little or no scientific proof that they are effective in the prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases.

Periodontal Disease in Children and Adolescents
Sept 2009

Periodontal disease is often thought of as a consequence of aging, or an adult problem. But, did you know that gingivitis, a mild form of periodontitis, is often found in both chi ldren and adoles cent s?

The good news is that a little education and a few easy steps go a long way toward preventing periodontal disease.

Working Together for Healthy Gums and a Healthy Heart
July 2009

Gum disease and cardiovascular disease are both major public health issues that impact a large number of Americans every day. While these two diseases impact separate areas of the body, research indi cates that periodontal disease and cardiovascular disease are connected; having one disease may actually increase your risk of developing the other.
Inflammation's Role.- Periodontal disease and cardiovascular disease are both considered chronic inflammatory conditions. Inflammation is the body's instinctive reaction to fight off infection. Inflammation is initially good for your body because it helps in the healing process. However, chronic and prolonged inflammation can lead to severe health complications.

Maintaining Oral Health During Cancer Therapy
June 2009

Cancer therapy can cause oral complications that compromise periodontal health, so a visit to your periodontist is important to help keep your gums healthy during this difficult time.
Oral Complications.- Common side effects of cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation to the head and neck, and bone marrow transplantation can negatively impact your overall health and quality of life. Radiation and chemotherapy kill cancer cells, but they can also hurt normal cells.

Brush and Floss for Healthy Gums!
April 2009

One of the easiest ways to help prevent gum disease is to brush and floss every day, so therefore it is very important to know the correct way to take care of your teeth and gums. It does not matter if you brush first or floss first, as long as you do both (twice a day!).
Equipment.- The most commonly used toothbrush is the manual toothbrush. Another option is the electric toothbrush, which uses electrical power to move the brush head. The resulting vibrations that are created gently clean the teeth. It is important to always choose a soft brush head when using either a manual or electric toothbrush, and to replace the toothbrush when the bristles begin to bend (or every two to three months).

by DR. JOHN PAUL GALLARDO

When comparing the Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP) to the most basic traditional treatment-osseous surgery or flap surgery-the answer is a resounding YES! This is because it is a minimally invasive treatment modaility that DOES NOT require incisions with a scalpel , DOES NOT require bone grafting and DOES NOT require stitches. Despite the conservative nature of the laser procedure, the results are just as good if not better in some cases. The treatment can be performed with either IV conscious sedation anesthesia or with just local anesthesia using the very comfortable Wand anesthesia which is computer controlled to minimize discomfort during injections. Hope this helps. Dr. John Paul Gallardo... continue

This is the video testimonial of a patient with advanced periodontal disease who had all of his hopeless upper teeth removed and replaced during the same appointment with the all-on-4 dental implant protocol and had the lower teeth treated with the Periolase laser. Because it was performed with IV conscious sedation, all of the work was performed in one appointment and he returned to work the next day.... continue
