Millennium Dental Technologies, Inc. (MDT) has received FDA clearance for the first ever digital-dental laser–the PerioLase® MVP-7, and also has received the first ever FDA regulatory clearance for the specific wording and procedure known as “Laser Curettage” (removal of diseased or inflamed soft tissue in the periodontal pocket). MDT is also the first and only company to receive FDA clearance in the company’s Professional Instructions for Use for a patented periodontal procedure called Laser Periodontal Therapy™ (LPT) and cleared to market LPT™ to improve: Gingival Index (GI) - improving the quality, quantity, and severity of disease; Gingival Bleeding Index (GBI)–reduce bleeding from the gums; Probe Depth (PD)–reduce the depth of the periodontal pocket; Attachment Level (AL)–increase the level of tissue attachment; and Tooth Mobility (TM)–lessen loose teeth. These new clinical claims validate the successful use of the PerioLase and Laser Periodontal Therapy for the treatment of periodontal disease without using scalpels and sutures.
The PerioLase® MVP-7 continues the founders’ commitment as a continuum of lasers dedicated to the treatment of moderate to severe periodontal disease.
The PerioLase® MVP-7 is a TruePulse™ free-running, neodymium yttrium aluminum garnet (FR) Nd:YAG. The PerioLase® is the only laser in the dental marketplace with Multi-Variable Pulse™ (MVP™). MVP® requires digital electronics and allows the operator to change between 7 discrete pulse durations. Pulse durations known as "free-running" are measured in the millionths (10-6) of a second.
The digital PerioLase weighs 42 pounds and can sit on its own rolling cart with storage drawer, or sit on a table top. It features a real-time energy/Joule counter, a printer for recording patient treatment settings and total energy used, a built-in power meter for measuring true energy delivered to tissue, and a tiltable touch-screen that includes a menu of laser procedure settings for instant clinical usage.
No PerioLase® will be sold without extensive training. The PerioLase® Periodontal Package will sell for $44,995, and includes 5 days of spread out over twelve months, including 3 initial days of Laser Bootcamp™.
