The well known Dr. Walid Altayeb will talk about "Ideal Clinical Laser Dentistry by Using Multi Diode Wavelengths" in the ALD 2021 Virtual Conference.
The classical Periodontal treatment protocol
As periodontitis usually occurs in the context of untreated periodontal disease, it is essential to carry out periodontal treatment of the whole mouth prior to oral implant placement or treatment of periodontitis.
Is PLDD demanding on physicians?
Of course, it must first be performed by a specialized surgeon, usually an orthopedic surgeon or a neurointerventionist. However, even for doctors who have not been exposed to laser surgery, the learning cost of PLDD is not very high. The whole procedure is relatively simple, the operation mode is fixed, and the laser will do most of the operations automatically.
What are the applicable wavelengths for PLDD?
For PLDD, the current mainstream wavelength choice is 980nm because 980nm has been clinically proven for a long time in terms of tissue absorption and widely accepted by physicians worldwide.
When PLDD treatment is appropriate?
What are the requirements of PLDD for lasers?
Since PLDD was invented in 1986, through continuous clinical improvement, the treatment environment of PLDD has gradually changed to 'in office' and 'outpatient basis', along with the demand for compactness, lightness and simple operation of the laser, which has gradually increased. In this case, Pioon M2 8kg Surgical Diode Laser System will be one of the best choices for PLDD laser.
What are the advantages of PLDD compared to traditional surgery?
The advantages of laser treatment are its controlled and precise fractional energy, which brings the advantages of small incisions, low complications and short recovery time. The same applies to PLDD, which can also achieve better postoperative results for herniated discs and no recurrence for a long time.
Laser therapy for peri-implantitis
It is well known that the popularity of oral implants is increasing every year as people's living standards improve. The number of patients with peri-implantitis has increased rapidly in recent years due to the treatment conditions and the lack of awareness of patient protection at a later stage. If peri-implantitis is not treated promptly and effectively, it can lead to the loss of the implant.
Basic Introduction of PLDD — Percutaneous Laser Disc Decompression
Percutaneous laser disc decompression (PLDD) is a procedure in which a surgical fiber probe is inserted into the disc space and the laser energy emitted by the fiber is applied to vaporize and ablate the nucleus pulposus to achieve decompression and neuromodulation and thus pain relief. It is a minimally invasive surgery with significant clinical advantages and falls under the category of percutaneous intervertebral surgery.
