When you make the statement, “…but yes LANAP procedures can be carried out no problem…”  I have to ask you, a practicing clinician of LANAP for 17 years, how you can justify and defend that claim from a scientific standpoint?

LANAP stands for “Laser assisted new attachment procedure”.  LANAP is a very specific and defined periodontal treatment protocol that was cleared by the FDA only after demonstrating to the FDA scientists and periodontist that the human histology completed by Professor Ray Yukna demonstrated “cementum-mediated new attachement”.

In fact, the specific FDA clearance reads, “Laser assisted new attachment procedure (cementum-mediated new periodontal ligament attachment to the root surface in the absence of long junctional epithelium.”

So in order for me and others who practice LANAP to fully understand your statment, are you claiming that the FRP Nd:YAG manufactured by Fotona and distributed in the USA by Lares Research can indeed result in cementum-mediated new attachment?
HELLO BOB.  I HAVE TO ASK THE QUESTION, RESPECTFULLY, ARE YOU CLAIMING THAT THE FRP ND:YAG MANUFACTURED BY FOTOA AND DISTRIBUTED IN THE USA BY LARES RESEARCH CANNOT, INDEED, RESULT IN CEMENTUM-MEDIATED NEW ATTACHEMENT?
 And if so, are you claiming that Fotona and Lares are selling the Fotona Nd:YAG in order to accomplish LANAP as described in the FDA clearance?
I WANT TO CLARIFY. HAVING RECENTLY TALKED TO THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM LARES AND READING THE INFORMATION ON THE FOTONA WEB SITE, YOU CAN REST ASSURED THAT AT NO TIME HAVE THEY REPRESENTED THAT THEIR LASERS ARE SOLD TO ACCOMPLISH LANAP AS DESCRIBED IN THE FDA CLEARANCE.
