CERRITOS, Calif. (January 29, 2013) — Millennium Dental Technologies (MDT), the developer of the FDA-cleared LANAP® protocol for the treatment of moderate to severe periodontitis and the manufacturer of the PerioLase® MVP-7™ digital dental laser, will sponsor two live demonstrations of the LANAP protocol on a patient. Charles R. Braga, DMD, MMSc, LANAP clinician and instructor at the Institute for Advanced Laser Dentistry will perform the surgeries at the 2013 Yankee Dental Congress in Boston. LANAP® clinician Marc Nevins, DMD, MMSc, whose human histologic study for the LANAP protocol was published in the 2012 IJPRD – Issue 5, is also scheduled to speak at the meeting. More than 27,000 dental professionals are expected to attend this year’s Yankee Dental Congress, held at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center, including a strong alumni attendance from area dental schools including Harvard University, Boston University, Tufts University, and the University of Connecticut.
