A LASER-ASSISTED OPTION FOR FAILING DENTAL IMPLANTS
LAPIP® targets infection around an implant while preserving healthy tissue and the implant surface whenever clinical conditions allow.
WHEN AN IMPLANT BLEEDS, HURTS OR LOSES BONE
Peri-implantitis is inflammation and progressive bone loss around a dental implant. The LAPIP protocol uses the PerioLase® MVP-7™ to reduce bacteria and inflamed tissue without scratching or overheating the titanium surface.
Early evaluation matters. The more supporting bone remains, the more options may be available to stabilize the implant.
WARNING SIGNS
- Bleeding while brushing or flossing
- Swelling, redness or tenderness
- Bad taste, drainage or persistent odor
- Visible recession around an implant
- An implant or crown that feels different
HOW LAPIP HELPS CREATE CONDITIONS FOR HEALING
DECONTAMINATE
Laser energy targets inflamed tissue and bacteria within the implant pocket.
PROTECT TITANIUM
The protocol cleans without the metal scraping that can roughen an implant surface.
STABILIZE
Occlusion, maintenance and other contributing factors are addressed as part of the plan.
CAN THE IMPLANT BE SAVED?
BONE SUPPORT
The amount and pattern of remaining bone are central to prognosis.
IMPLANT STABILITY
A stable implant with treatable infection differs from a physically mobile implant.
RISK FACTORS
Smoking, diabetes, bite forces and home care can influence healing and recurrence.
START WITH A CLEAR DIAGNOSIS
Request an evaluation for bleeding, discomfort or bone loss around a dental implant.
