| An estimated 80 percent of American adults currently have some form of periodontal disease. In addition, there might be a cause and effect relationship between periodontal disease and an increased risk of heart attack or stroke and other health related issues(1). Therefore, treating active periodontal disease has become of paramount importance Most recently, as an adjunct to traditional periodontal therapy, the Odyssey® diode laser has been shown effective in reducing periodontal pathogens, enhancing soft tissue healing while increasing patient comfort at the same time. Improving periodontal soft tissue health with the Odyssey® diode laser as an adjunct to scaling and root planing will create a win-win situation for both dental offices and patients. |
