LANAP(R) Protocol Saves Teeth Over the Long Term
10-Year Peer-Reviewed Retrospective Comparative LANAP(R) Study by Lloyd V. Tilt, DDS, MS Was Published in the 2012 March/April General Dentistry
(firmenpresse) - CERRITOS, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 06/13/12 -- Millennium Dental Technologies announces peer-reviewed results of the LANAP® protocol will be presented by periodontist Lloyd V. Tilt, DDS, MS, on Friday June 22nd, 2012 at the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) Annual session in Philadelphia, PA. The study, published in the 2012 March/April issue of the AGD- refereed journal, General Dentistry, supports the use of the FDA-cleared LANAP protocol as an effective long-term gum disease treatment. The published study documents a 10-year retrospective on the LANAP protocol in private practice, showing the effectiveness of the LANAP protocol as measured by tooth loss, a key success metric.
"Dr. Tilt's thorough research adds to the growing arsenal of ," says Robert H. Gregg II, DDS, president and chairman of the board at MDT. "LANAP clinicians are able to consistently reproduce preferred clinical healing outcomes -- including regeneration of periodontal tissues, and regrowth of bone. Dr. Tilt's 10-year retrospective underscores that these cases are not isolated results in the fight against gum disease, also called periodontitis. The LANAP protocol achieves ."
"This data highlights the LANAP protocol as a treatment that contributes to the long-term survival of natural dentition, and helps to avoid implant procedures," reports Delwin K. McCarthy, DDS, chief information officer at Millennium Dental Technologies.
Dr. Tilt's study follows 107 patients' treatment over the course of ten years -- 68% of whom were suffering from severe case IV periodontitis, measuring tooth survival as the benchmark. The retrospective study compares Tilt's research to three other tooth survival studies of conventional periodontitis surgery. The ultimate goal of any periodontal treatment is to keep teeth in good health, comfort and function.
"As part of a comprehensive treatment plan, the LANAP® protocol yields consistent, predictable results, and is a preferred method of treating periodontitis," concludes Dr. Tilt.
The full report of Dr. Tilt's research is featured in the 2012 March/April issue of General Dentistry. An educational webinar is available at: .
