FIELD OF 'IMF INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to a method of treating gum diseases using a diode laser which produces a beam of light having a wavelength in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum (400nm ¨ 700tun). Optionally, the laser light utilizes green wavelength range (520¨ 570 nm) at a laser power 0.001W to 5W to treat wounds. It is also contemplated that described is a method of treating diseased tissue lasing a diode laser.
Optionally, the laser light utilizes the IR wavelength range (700nm ¨ 1400nm) at a laser power of .001W-to 5W to treat wounds. Optionally, an LED light utilizes the IR wavelength range to treat wounds.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Laser Assisted Periodontium and Osseous Regeneration (LAPOR) is a protocol which is laser assisted with the use of a substrate such as but not limited the LAPOR
periodontal solution, the LAPOR periodontal gel and the LAPOR substrate and thus causes an increase in cell attachment of epithelial cells, gingival fibroblasts, PDL fibroblasts and adhesion of osteogenic cells. Enhanced cell migration and proliferation appears to lead to accelerated wound fill rates in vitro using PDL fibroblasts, gingival fibroblasts and osteoblast-like cells.

A substrate such as the LAPOR periodontal solution, the LAPOR periodontal gel and the LAPOR substrate, used in the LAPOR protocol, stinuilates total protein synthesis and the synthesis of specific extracelhilar matrix molecules. Studies that evaluate the bone remodeling regulation system indicate that proteins influence this regulation system, thus indicating an indirect involvement in the bone remodeling process. When used in conjunction with three specially formulated periodontal and wound healing substrates, and LAPOR gel root conditioner, LAPOR
has shown to stimulate total tissue and bone synthesis, increase gingival attachment, gingival height, bone density, bone height thereby showing accelerated wound fill rates in vivo.
The diode laser used produces a beam of light having a wavelength in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum (400nm ¨ 700nm), Optionally, a beam of light having a wavelength in the green wavelength range (520 ¨ 570 nm) at a laser power of 0,5 to 1.2W is used in the LAPOR protocol. It has been shown by the LAPOR protocol to biostinuilate the healing and regenerative processes of the periodontium., including the biostimulafion of new bone and its supporting elements. The diode laser used in the LAPOR protocol, biostimulates the healing response of the pthodontium nonsurgically, and biostimulates the tissue regeneration of the periodontium, nonsurgically, and prevents long junctional epithelium from migrating downwards into the sulcus (a biom.echanical aspect of tissue healing), thereby preserving the tissue height. A
diode laser used in the LAPOR protocol helps a substrate such as but not limited to proteins to stimulate total protein synthesis and the synthesis of extracellular matrix molecules, nonsurgically.
Alternatively, the LAPOR protocol may use a beam of light having a wavelength in the green wavelength range (520-570 rim), red wavelength range (620-750 mu), or yellow wavelength range (570-590 mn) having an alternative wattage of 0,001W to 5W, preferably 0,002W to 4W, more preferably 0.003W to 4W, and most preferably 0.005W to 2W, The diode laser used helps the substrates stimulate total tissue and bone synthesis by biostimulating the healing response and bone/tissue regeneration and its supporting elements of the wound.
It is further contemplated that the invention may be used to treat tissue damage and wounds, i.e. Laser Assisted Tissue and Osseous Regeneration (LATOR) using a solution, LATOR gel and

2 LATOR substrate to enhance cell migration and proliferation leading to accelerated wound fill rates. The protocol is used in conjunction with six specially formulated tissue and wound healing substrates and a gel conditioner to stimulate total tissue and bone synthesis, increase tissue attachment, tissue height, bone density and bone height thereb-y showing accelerated would fill rates like the .LAPOR protocol., SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The LAPOR protocol can be used in the treatment of gum disease and wounds by combining the most effective methods of treatment with the use of a special laser. Approximately 66% of the United States population has some form of gam disease. But many avoid seeking treatment because of the discomfort that often results from gum surgery. LAPOR
provides a new choice. The LAPOR protocol is a treatment that is more effective as traditional periodontal.
surgery, and it is much more beneficial to the patient both in the short term and in the long run.
The LATOR protocol can similarly be used for treatment of tissue disease and wounds.
The LAPOR protocol takes only about an hour and only two short follow-up visits. Patients enjoy no downtime with recovery taking only 24 hours. This makes immediate return to work both possible and comfortable.
After having the LAPOR protocol perfinmed, gum recession is zero when compared to that which most often follows normal periodontal surgery. This, combined with new cement-um formation on the roots, bone formation in previous defects, periodontal ligament formation and no tooth loss. After having the LATOR protocol performed, wound fibrosis is zero compared to that which most often follows nomml treatment, new tissue formation occurs multi directionally and the wound closes without grafting.
The LAPOR protocols of the present invention can be used to heal wound sites by combining or using separately the most effective methods of treatment with the laser, LED, radiofrequency energy and substrates. Following performance of treatment protocols, no receding of tissue from the wound site was observed. In a preferred embodiment, the RF energy waves may be up to 10W. The carrier wave frequency may be in the range of 0.1MHz to 20MIL while the non-sinusoidal waveform may be in the range of 0 to 40 KHz or from 0 to 246Hz. In a preferred embodiment, the carrier wave frequency is in the range of 0.2MHz to 10MHz, preferably 0.3MHz to 5Miliz. Optionally a 0.001W to 1.0W range RF
energy, preferably a 0.00IW to 3W range, is utilized in the hertz range of 40 Hz to 24 GHz. In a further alternative embodiment, the RF wave is more than one sine wave wherein the more than one demonstrates a harmonics pattern.
The special type of laser used in the LAPOR protocol and the LATOR protocol is the diode, a semiconductor coherent light beam used on s. The laser light used has a wavelength in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, between 400nm ¨ 700nm wavelength.
Optionally, the green range (520 ¨ 570 urn) of the visible spectrum is utilized at a laser power of 0.5 to 1.2 watts, which disinfects the site, leaving the gum tissue bacteria free, and biostimulates healing; in.
conjunction with treatment with a substrate, the laser biostimulates regeneration of the periodontium. Traditional periodontal therapy removes tissue height of a tooth to reduce the pocket depths. The LAPOR protocol is a regenerative procedure. The patient does not lose tissue volume.
Tissue volume is increased and bone is regenerated. For general tissue disease, the laser biostimulates regeneration of tissue where traditional therapy removes tissue height to reduce the disease. Optionally., the laser light utilizes the IR wavelength range (700nm ¨ 1.400nm) at a laser power of .001W to 5W to treat wounds. Optionally, LED light is used at 10W or lower.
The use of the diode laser in conjunction with routine scaling and root planning is more effective than scaling and root planning alone. It enhances the speed and extent of the patients gingival healing and postoperative comfort. This is accomplished through laser bacterial reduction and biostimulation with a laser light having a wavelength in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, between 400rini ¨ 700nm wavelength. Optionally, the men range (520 ¨ 570 urn) of the visible spectrum is utilized at a laser power of 0.5 to 1.2 watts. Alternatively, the laser power wattage may be in the range of 0.001W to SW, preferably 0.002W to 4W, more preferably 0.003W to 3W, and most preferably 0.005W to 2W.
Referring to Fig > 10, there is disclosed a method 10 of using a diode laser which produces a beam of light, used intermittently, having a wavelength in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, between 400nm 700nm. wavelength. Optionally, the green range (520 ¨ 570 nin) of the visible spectrum is utilized at a laser power of 0.5 to 1.2 watts to treat gum disease.
Starting at 'block 12, a perio probe determines the degree of excessive pocket depth and thus helps the dentist better identify diseased tissue and areas of bacterial infection.
The dentist removes calculus from the root surface using an ultrasonic scaler and hand instruments, block 14. This action by the dentist helps stimulate a healing response in the sulcus by opening the capillaries upon scaling. Going to block 18, the laser tip is placed inside the stilcus and a continuous light beam with intermittent stops for tissue temperature control is allowed to penetrate the entire sulcus by moving the tip vertically and horizontally throughout the sulcus. The laser tip is cut at a 45 degree angle during the first pass. The laser is cut at the opposite 45 degree angle during the second pass. This allows for the laser beam to penetrate the existing periodontiura to decontaminate the tissue, as the heat of the targeted laser light kills the bacteria. This also allows for biostimulation of the sulcular contents. At block 20, the dentist scales the sulcular area and root surfaces once again to induce a healing response through renewed blood flow. Going to block 22, at least one substrate, such as but not limited to matrix proteins, is then placed in the sulcus of the tooth prior to the blood clot forming and at block 24, a blood clot is carefully Allowed to form by gently helping patient keep their mouth open for 5 minutes, to keep the substrate intact. Optionally, the laser light utilizes the IR wavelength range (700nm 1400nm) at a laser power of ,001W to SW
to treat wounds.
Alternatively, the laser tip is a specially designed tip that disperses light energy throughout the wounded stilcus which allows the laser beam to penetrate the existing tissues to decontaminate the tissue, as the heat of the targeted laser light kills the bacteria and as a result block 20 may be eliminated going directly to block 22 The LAPOR protocol is much less invasive than traditional surgery and offers advantages and benefits over its counterpart. Recovery time is much faster because most, if not all, damage to healthy tissue is avoided through the use of more advanced technology. Because the LAPOR
protocol leaves healthy tissue intact, the height of the gums themselves increases around the teeth and is better preserved, The LAPOR protocol prevents long junctional epithelium from migrating downwards into the sulens, thus preserving the tissue height and allowing for the regeneration of the periodontium, Referring to Fig, 17a-17f, shown are various angles of the first embodiment of a device 100 for use in conjunction with the substrates and methods of the present invention.
