IRVINE, Calif.—Medical device company Biolase has formed Waterlase Perio Academy (WPA), a community of periodontists. The WPA's goal is to assist clinicians in providing periodontal and implant services with improved patient outcomes, through the continued adoption of laser technology.
 
Inspired by the company's Waterlase Endo Academy, the WPA will foster peer-led learning with ongoing mentorship from the academy's leading clinicians, featuring online meetings and case reviews by experts in the field. The academy is open to all periodontists utilizing the Waterlase technology.
 
"Launching an academy devoted to supporting the growth and timely needs of periodontists directly aligns with Biolase's mission of advancing dentistry," said John Beaver, President and CEO of Biolase. "Periodontists are actively seeking ways to manage both periodontal and implant diseases, as the incidence of gum disease with 'bone loss' has increased in the adult population. Periodontitis can often be linked to systemic diseases, from inflammatory cardiac disease to recent COVID-19 infections—further stressing the need for innovative solutions and expert collaboration among dental professionals."
 
As part of the WPA, members will have access to facilitated discussions around complex cases, ongoing mentorship from leading clinicians, didactic online meetings and interactive case reviews. Academy leadership is composed of experienced periodontists, including Drs. Paul Chang, Curry Leavitt, Stephen John, Todd Jorgenson, James Papp and Bret Dyer. Virtual progressive training sessions will also be added in real-time to address new procedures as they arise, and members will be the first to know when Biolase releases new products.
