Q: Yesterday I had two quadrants (osseous surgery) done using the LANAP procedure. How long should I wait before having the other side done?
A: In our office, we generally do full mouth LANAP cases in one visit. A small number of our patients have half mouth done no more than 7-10 days apart. Did you have a qualified laser periodontist perform your LANAP surgery? I suggest you speak to the treating doctor to get the information you need to understand how the LANAP protocol should be performed. A full description of LANAP is always discussed at our consultation visits and is part of the informed consent process for our patients.
