Periowave is a quick and painless laser assisted technology which focuses on elimination of biofilm (bacterial colony) associated with periodontal (gum) disease. Since the elimination of biofilm is laser assisted, this technology does not cause antibiotic resistance.
Periowave utilizes a non-thermal laser light to activate a photo-sensitizing solution designed to kill the bacteria. Killing the bacteria halts the progression of the disease and inflammation and allows the healing to begin.
