Waterlase REPAIR Perio™

Perio Protocol

Manage moderate to severe periodontitis with the minimally invasive Waterlase REPAIR Perio™ protocol.

Waterlase's YSGG wavelength can degranulate the diseased tissue, decorticate the bone, and detoxify the root, while other wavelengths only degranulate.

Waterlase REPAIR Perio also utilizes laser activation to create a sealing clot within the sulcus, preventing migration of epithelium resulting in improved periodontal wound healing and promoting cementum-mediated new attachment.

Results - Effectively Manage Periodontitis

• Superior patient reported outcomes: less bleeding, less post-op swelling & bruising.
• Faster procedure times with equivalent clinical results to the latest open flap techniques.
• Results supported by a landmark, first-of-its-kind, blind study designed by The McGuire Institute™ to meet stringent AAP Best Evidence Consensus recommendations, and published in the Journal of Periodontology.

Clinical Study

Comparison of Er,Cr:YSGG laser to minimally invasive surgical technique in the treatment of intrabony defects: Six-month results of a multicenter, randomized, controlled study

Background: The purpose of this publication is to report on the six-month clinical results and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) comparing the surgical use of the erbium, chromium-doped: yttrium, scandium, gallium, and garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser (ERL) and minimally invasive surgical technique (MIST) for the treatment of intrabony defects in subjects with generalized periodontitis stage III, grade B.

STUDY DESIGN & RESULTS

• Study designed to meet the stringent American Academy of Periodontology best-evidence consensus standards
• The first multicenter, blinded, controlled study on the use of lasers in managing moderate to severe periodontitis
• A total of 53 patients were enrolled in the study, and treatment was provided by six experienced periodontists at five different sites.
• Results demonstrate that REPAIR is as effective as open-flap procedures in clinical parameters such as pocket depth and attachment level and has significantly better patient-reported outcomes.
