Patent ID: 11730760

Abstract:
A method of treating gum disease while healing the wound in the periodontium using a soft tissue diode laser which generates a beam of light having a wavelength in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum (400 nm-700 nm) at a laser power of 0.001 to 1.2 watts, used with intermittent stops to control tissue temperature and biostimulate the periodontium to regenerate and heal its wound when used with substrates, the method comprising: placing the tip of the laser inside the sulcus; penetrating the entire sulcus by moving the laser light circumferentially around the tooth vertically and horizontally throughout the sulcus with intermittent stops to control tissue temperature and placing substrates in the sulcus prior to blood clot formation; followed by RF treatment of the sulcus by placing the RF headpiece tips perpendicular to the sulcus to receive RF current which further penetrates the wound site.
