LANAP Inventors Call ADA's Laser Position Statement Flawed
Date:4/29/2009

CERRITOS, Calif., April 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Millennium Dental Technologies, Inc. has issued comments on the American Dental Association's (ADA) position statement on the use of lasers in dentistry. The company considers the final document inaccurate, misleading, and scientifically unsubstantiated, especially as it relates to laser-assisted new attachment procedure, or the LANAP protocol. http://www.ada.org/prof/resources/positions/statements/lasers_final.asp

What is of special interest and concern to Millennium, is the focus the ADA gave to the LANAP protocol, and the fact that none of the clinicians who developed the patented LANAP protocol were involved in the Working Group Committee deliberations or final document draft.

The LANAP protocol is a laser-based and patient-preferred method of treating mild to severe cases of gum disease without the use of scalpels or sutures. The LANAP protocol was developed by Robert H. Gregg, DDS and Delwin K. McCarthy, DDS in 1991, patented in 1994 and FDA cleared in 2004. The LANAP protocol is supported by the 4th largest human histology with a control group - the gold standard of research - in the published, prestigious, peer-reviewed periodontal literature and was the basis for the FDA's decision to clear "laser assisted new attachment procedure." See: http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/cdrh_docs/pdf3/K030290.pdf

"It defies logic that the inventors of anything would be excluded from any review process of an invention, especially the final review," commented Robert H. Gregg, DDS, President of MD
