The World’s First and ONLY FDA Clearance with Scientific Proof for True Bone Regeneration™
The LANAP® protocol is an FDA-cleared, minimally invasive laser treatment for moderate to severe periodontal disease (gum disease), offering a more comfortable regenerative treatment experience for patients with faster recovery than traditional osseous surgery.

What is LANAP®?
LANAP® stands for “Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure” and offers a more comfortable treatment alternative to conventional surgery with faster recovery. LANAP® = LAR™ is the only scientifically, research-proven methodology that results in true periodontal regeneration, new bone growth, and gum tissue reattachment.
LANAP® and LAR™ are accomplished with the PerioLase® MVP-7™, a free-running, variable pulsed Nd:YAG laser. The 7 variable pulse durations can be considered “different lasers” in one device that employs discrete and discriminating tissue interactions.
The LANAP® = LAR™ treatment is one of the most successful protocols in treating gum disease because it can target the source of the inflammation without hurting or removing any healthy gum tissue, slow or stop attachment loss, decrease pocket depth, and allow the body to recover from the chronic infection without the need for scalpel or sutures.
True Regeneration™
The LANAP® protocol is the world’s first and only FDA clearance for true periodontal regeneration based on human histologic studies using the PerioLase® MVP-7™, a free-running pulsed Nd:YAG laser.
- No other laser company…
- No other laser device…
- No other laser periodontal therapy…
…has human histologic studies that show periodontal regeneration – true regeneration of the attachment apparatus (new cementum, new periodontal ligament, and new alveolar bone) on a previously diseased root surface when used specifically in the LANAP® Protocol. 510(k) K15176
- No biologics used!
- No artificial membranes!
- No exogenous growth factors!
- No bone grafts!
- No scaffolds!
- No stitches!
Clinically Proven Results
Hundreds of documented clinical cases demonstrate a decrease in pocket depth by 50% in more than 90% of patient pockets through regeneration, not amputation.
“I was amazed at the healing of the angular defects at just five months! Inflammation had decreased and probing depths went from 6-9 mm down to 2-3 mm.”
“The LANAP protocol allows us to treat severe periodontal disease & loss of support with a greater chance that many of these teeth will recover & allow patients to keep them.”
“A lot of conventional periodontal patients used to come in with post-operative pain & occasional bleeding. With the LANAP protocol, all that has been eliminated.”
“We have seen enough cases to say, ‘Yes, this works.’ In other words, treating periodontal disease using the LANAP protocol has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt.”
“The PerioLase MVP-7 has been a game-changer and life-changer for me! I would have retired years ago without this laser and the procedures I have been able to do.”
“With traditional gum surgery, there is recession, root sensitivity, pain & discomfort. But with LANAP, you get good results, minimal discomfort & patient acceptance.”
“I’ve been a LANAP-trained clinician since 2007. My patients love it. I would rather do that than any cut-and-sew procedure any day.”
“Prior to LANAP treatment, I would have recommended extraction for this patient. One year after LANAP, there was bone fill completely to the furcation area!
How Does LANAP Work?
You can’t change physics! The success of the LANAP protocol is rooted in laser physics and the unique interaction between the tissue in the mouth and the variable pulsed wavelength of the PerioLase® MVP-7™ 1064 Nd:YAG dental laser.
The 1064 wavelength passes through water and hydroxyapatite but is absorbed in melanin and hemoglobin. Simply put, the wavelength targets the diseased tissue without harming healthy tissue.
The laser light penetrates 4 mm beyond the tissue surface for effective bacteria kill. Once the site is clean, the laser interacts with the hemoglobin to establish a stable fibrin clot, creating a closed and sealed system for regeneration.
Treatment Protocol
- Perio probe indicates excessive pocket depth.
- Laser radiation vaporizes bacteria, diseased tissue, pathologic proteins and alerts the practitioner to the presence of tartar.
- Ultrasonic scaler and special hand instruments are used to remove root surface accretions.
- Bone is modified at the time of surgery.
- Laser is used to form a gel-clot containing stem cells from bone and PDL.
- Reattachment of reté ridges to clean root surface, with a stable fibrin clot at the gingival crest to create a “closed system.”
- Bite adjustment to eliminate occlusal trauma.
- New attachment is regenerated.
Scientifically Supported
The LANAP® protocol is scientifically supported with 651 positive patient outcomes published since 1998. This includes 25 peer-reviewed publications, eight book chapters, two prospective human histology studies, two prospective randomized controlled clinical trials, three retrospective consecutive case series evaluations, and two retrospective blind in vivo human bacteriological studies.
