LANAP Vs Pinhole Chao

LANAP a periodontal disease treatment, is designed to target gum infection, bone degeneration, and deep pockets. It targets bacteria, while also promoting bone and gingival regeneration. The LANAP is perfect for patients with moderate to severe gum diseases.

Pinhole Surgical Technique focuses on the cosmetic and functional problems caused by gum receding. The exposed tooth roots can cause sensitivity and decay. They may also be an aesthetic concern. PST works best for patients with healthy gums who need to treat recession.

LANAP is a laser-based treatment that uses the latest technology to remove infected tissue from gums while leaving healthy tissue unharmed. Lasers also seal the treated areas to reduce the risk of infection and promote faster healing. There is little or no bleeding, and the procedure causes minimal discomfort.

PST is performed by making a tiny pinhole in the gingival tissue. Specialized tools can be used to detach the gum tissue from the roots and reposition it. Collagen strips are inserted to stabilize the gums and allow for natural healing. This procedure is completely scalpel and suture free.

Both LANAP and PST use minimally invasive techniques, but their methods are different. Laser technology is used in LANAP, which allows for precision and minimizes trauma to surrounding tissues. PST does not involve any cutting or stitching, nor does it use a laser. However, it is a gentler way to treat gum recession by placing a “pinhole” in the gums and guiding reattachment with a special periodontal tool.

The recovery period for LANAP is relatively short. Most patients can resume their normal activities in a few days, but full healing and bone regeneration may take several weeks.

PST has a quick recovery time, and many patients experience immediate improvement in their gums' appearance with minimal discomfort. The healing process is simple and rapid since there are no incisions or sutures.

Even in the most advanced cases, LANAP effectively treats periodontal disease. The treatment not only removes the diseased tissue, but also encourages bone and connective tissues to regenerate. This has long-term benefits on oral health.

PST is highly effective in correcting gum receding. It protects exposed teeth roots and restores the natural look of the gumline.

LANAP, a minimally invasive procedure, is ideal for patients who have active periodontal disease and are looking for a less invasive option to traditional surgery. This is also a great option for those with health conditions that may increase the risk of infection, bleeding, and post op complications that traditional surgery can sometimes bring about. 

PST is the ideal solution for patients who have gum recession and want to restore their gum-line in a minimally invasive way. This is especially useful for patients who wish to avoid the pain and long healing time associated with traditional grafting methods.

LANAP is a revolutionary treatment for gum disease that offers lasting benefits. It addresses the root causes of gum disease and encourages bone regeneration. Good oral hygiene will improve gum health and reduce the risk of tooth loss.

PST improves the aesthetics of the gum-line and protects tooth roots. When properly cared for, the results will improve both your oral health and self-confidence.
