Introducing TwinLight® Periodontal Treatment
For treating periodontal disease, Fotona’s TwinLight® Periodontal Treatment (TPT) is a comprehensive and minimally invasive periodontal therapy incorporating the power of dentistry’s two most effective laser wavelengths: Er:YAG and Nd:YAG. The TwinLight® approach enables wavelength-optimized treatments for periodontal therapy (such as WPT™), which create the optimal conditions for healing periodontal tissues. What’s more, TPT prevents infection and promotes reduction in pocket depths.
The TwinLight® procedure is performed in three simple steps:
- Step 1: The Nd:YAG laser removes the diseased epithelial lining of the periodontal pocket and improves access to the root surface.
- Step 2: The Er:YAG laser is used to thoroughly remove microbial biofilm and calculus from the root surface.
- Step 3: The Nd:YAG laser energy is used to coagulate and promote the formation of a stable fibrin clot.
Optimal Wavelength Combination
Utilizing both Er:YAG and Nd:YAG laser wavelengths in a single treatment makes optimum use of the unique laser-tissue interaction characteristics of each wavelength. For example, Nd:YAG laser energy is superior for coagulation and deep disinfection, while Er:YAG is uniquely efficient at gently removing the infected surface tissue and calculus from the root surface. Combined, they can dramatically improve the outcome of laser-assisted treatments, guaranteeing maximum safety and efficacy.

Frequently Asked Questions about Fotona Laser Therapy
What is Fotona laser therapy for gum disease?
Fotona laser therapy uses advanced Er:YAG and Nd:YAG lasers to treat gum disease with minimal discomfort and faster healing. Dr. Laudenbach uses this precise technology to remove bacteria and infected tissue from periodontal pockets while stimulating tissue regeneration. The laser’s unique properties allow for effective treatment of both soft and hard tissues, often reducing the need for traditional surgical approaches while improving patient comfort and outcomes.
How does laser gum therapy work?
Fotona laser therapy works by delivering specific wavelengths of light energy that target diseased tissue and bacteria while leaving healthy tissue unharmed. The laser removes infected material from periodontal pockets, sterilizes the area, and stimulates new tissue growth. This photobiomodulation effect promotes healing and reduces inflammation. Multiple treatment sessions may be needed, with each visit building upon previous improvements in your gum health.
Is laser gum therapy painful?
Most patients find laser gum therapy significantly more comfortable than traditional periodontal surgery. The Fotona laser often requires no anesthesia or minimal numbing for basic treatments. You may feel slight warming or tingling during treatment, but most patients report minimal discomfort. Post-treatment sensitivity is typically mild and short-lived. This improved comfort is one of the major advantages of laser therapy over conventional surgical approaches.
How many sessions do I need?
Most patients require 2-4 laser therapy sessions spaced 1-2 weeks apart for optimal results. The exact number depends on the severity of your gum disease and your healing response. Dr. Laudenbach evaluates your progress after each session and adjusts the treatment plan as needed. Maintenance sessions may be recommended periodically to maintain results. We provide personalized treatment schedules based on your specific condition and goals.
What conditions can Fotona laser treat?
Fotona laser therapy effectively treats various periodontal conditions including gingivitis, periodontitis, peri-implantitis around dental implants, and gum overgrowth. The laser can also assist in crown lengthening procedures and tissue recontouring for cosmetic improvements. Dr. Laudenbach may combine laser therapy with other treatments for comprehensive periodontal care. The versatility of the Fotona system allows for customized treatment approaches based on your specific needs.
How does laser therapy compare to traditional gum surgery?
Laser therapy offers several advantages over traditional periodontal surgery including reduced discomfort, minimal bleeding, faster healing, and often no need for anesthesia. However, some advanced cases may still require conventional surgical approaches. Laser therapy is excellent for early to moderate gum disease and maintenance of previous treatments. Dr. Laudenbach evaluates your specific condition to recommend whether laser therapy alone or combined with other treatments best meets your needs.
