Periodontitis, a serious gum infection that can lead to tooth loss, requires effective and comprehensive treatment. Waterlase REPAIR Perio offers a minimally invasive, scientifically advanced protocol that is revolutionizing the management of early, moderate and severe chronic periodontitis.

Utilizing the Waterlase system, this protocol ensures a safe, patient-friendly treatment that is highly effective for clinicians and provides improved comfort for patients.

Key benefits of Waterlase REPAIR Perio for periodontal care:

  1. Minimally invasive protocol: Waterlase REPAIR Perio provides a less invasive alternative to traditional periodontal surgery. The laser’s ability to remove diseased tissue and subgingival calculus without cutting or suturing results in significantly less discomfort, bleeding and swelling for patients. This approach also reduces postoperative complications, making it easier for patients to comply with their treatment and recovery plans.
  2. Superior patient-reported outcomes: Waterlase REPAIR Perio offers superior outcomes when compared to traditional methods. Patients report less bleeding, post-operative swelling and bruising, leading to higher satisfaction and comfort. Additionally, the procedure typically requires less timewhile delivering results that are equivalent to the latest open flap techniques, making it a more efficient option for both clinicians and patients.
  3. Promotes tissue regeneration: One of the standout features of Waterlase REPAIR Perio is its FDA cleared ability to promote "cementum-mediated periodontal ligament attachment" to the root surface. This new attachment forms without the presence of long junctional epithelium, which is a key factor in achieving long-term periodontal health. By enhancing natural healing and regeneration, Waterlase supports the body’s ability to restore lost tissue in periodontal pockets.
  4. Effective for full mouth or site-specific cases: Waterlase REPAIR Perio offers clinicians flexibility in treatment planning, whether they are addressing single teeth, quadrants or full-mouth cases. This makes it ideal for patients with varying degrees of periodontal disease, allowing for customized treatment plans based on the severity of the condition and patient needs.
  5. Evidence-based success: Supported by clinical research, Waterlase REPAIR Perio has been proven effective for treating periodontitis. The protocol integrates scaling and root planing with laser-assisted sulcular debridement and bone recontouring to address all aspects of periodontal disease. Studies demonstrate enhanced outcomes in both clinical and esthetic results, providing patients with long-term periodontal stability.

Waterlase REPAIR Perio is transforming periodontal treatment by offering a minimally invasive, patient-preferred option with superior results. This protocol enhances patient comfort, promotes tissue regeneration and offers clinicians a flexible, scientifically backed approach to periodontitis management.
