Innovative LAPIP Therapy at Palmetto Periodontics
At Palmetto Periodontics, we are proud to offer LAPIP (Laser-Assisted Peri-Implantitis Procedure) treatments, a leading-edge solution for peri-implantitis, right here in Columbia, SC. Utilizing state-of-the-art laser technology, our clinic provides effective, minimally invasive treatments to combat implant-related & gum-related issues.
Understanding LAPIP
LAPIP is a patented laser treatment specifically designed to target and treat peri-implantitis, an inflammatory condition affecting the soft and hard tissues around dental implants. This protocol uses a specialized Nd:YAG laser to eliminate infected tissue and bacteria without harming the healthy tissue, promoting regeneration and recovery of the supporting structures around an implant.
Benefits of LAPIP Treatments
- Targeted Infection Control: Directly addresses the infection around the implant, clearing away diseased tissues and pathogens.
- Bone Regeneration: Encourages the regrowth of bone around the dental implant, potentially saving implants from failure.
- Minimal Discomfort and Downtime: Patients experience minimal discomfort and a quicker recovery compared to traditional surgical methods.
- Preservation of Healthy Tissue: The precision of the laser ensures that only diseased tissues are removed, protecting healthy gums and bone.

The LAPIP Procedure Process
The treatment begins with a detailed examination to assess the severity of peri-implantitis and to plan the most effective approach.
Procedure Steps:
- Laser Application: The Nd:YAG laser is used to remove infected tissue and bacteria from around the implant.
- Calculus Removal: Ultrasonic tools and special instruments are used to clean the implant surface without damaging it.
- Biostimulation: The laser is then used to stimulate bone and tissue growth around the implant, aiding in recovery and healing.
